It was mighty good this past Tuesday night to be gifted with an overnight visit from former Wake Forest University grad student Dr. Bradley Phillis, now in his first year as a history professor who's also directing the program in secondary social studies education at Gardner-Webb University. We got to chat and catch up, but it was also very much a work session with great discussions about observing and coaching student teachers. I talked a lot; Bradley seemed to write a lot. And then we had dinner: pork medallions in a ginger-shiitake-soy-garlic cream sauce, with simple mashed potatoes and garden peas. There was more good conversation the following morning over coffee, before he had to head back to Boiling Springs.
Speaking of visits, I sure was glad that Dr. Todd Martin, a childhood friend from Buies Creek, who is now a professor of English at Huntington University, stopped by after Bradley's departure as he and daughter Elise made their journey back up to Indiana. Of necessity, it was all too brief, but what a delight!
