I'd like to thank all of the teachers in my
life, who encouraged me to read books and poetry, and most
importantly - To WRITE! I'd especially like to thank Mrs. Velasco (3rd Grade), Mrs.
Turner (5th Grade), Mrs. Carnes (6th Grade), and Mrs. Parker (6th
Grade)
A special thank you to the two teachers who
inspired me the most: Miss Muench (6th Grade), who
still thinks of me as a writer, and Mrs. Sauvie (10th Grade), the
"myth-fit" who taught us to write in "Creative
You" during second hour!
There are three other teachers in my life who
have inspired me to read and write since I was an
infant: My mother, with whom I share a love for
poetry, and a firm belief it should be read out loud; My father
who read to me when I was little, and who still reads my
stories and poems and at least says he enjoys them; and my
Grandmother, who writes and tells such fabulous tales, I
can't help but want to do the same.
Never forget your teachers!
Since this is my first Website attempt, I received LOTS of help from the following:
Unless otherwise indicated, most images are photos taken by Albert, Bruce or Diane Graebner. Some of the images with the poems are personal or home photographs manipulated using photo editing software like MGI Photosuite among others.
Some more people to whom I owe my thanks:
A Super Special Thank You to Mom and Dad
for Scanning Pictures and Hunting All Over the
House For Folders of Poetry!
Thank you to my brother Jeff, for giving me his
honest opinion of my site - and for letting me embarrass him by
putting his baby pictures on the web! He's also responsible
for our wonderful domain name - which was our Christmas present
from him! Thank you for generations-poetry.com!
Thank you to David J. Pozner, for the wonderful photo of
Philmont Boy Scout Camp.
And a SUPER Special Thank
You to Grandmother for Writing Such Wonderful Poems!!!
