Thank you for the kind words posted about me on the forum.

Also, I want to personally thank you for keeping the discussion area alive, and for the great information you provided to the people who submitted questions.

I am now retired (have been working full time straight in business, education, labor law and counseling) for some 45 years and am now able to take a break and "stop and smell the roses" as they say.

With much free time that I have available, I am spending it with my lovely wife at our home gardening, taking care of and raising our five rescue dogs (two corgis, one terrier, one whippet and one beagle) and helping my wife with her business of making sweaters for dogs to sell and donate to animal shelters and rescue agencies.

Additionally, since I have a lot of extra time, I intend to stay busy by tutoring students on-ground and online as well as get back into providing assistance to those who need help in becoming more effective ESL/TEFL/TESOL teachers for students of all ages.

Please continue to also provide comments as you have done while I was away. I really enjoy the insight you bring to the Board and to the discussions.

Stay well, my friend,
Yanni Zack
