Season 2 - Episode 4 - Lee Ann Perorazio

Lee Ann Perorazio

Lee Ann and I enjoy some Bob Evans!

Tonight, I was able to finally line up a show with an old student of mine from Scioto Ridge in 3rd grade and then in 8th grade in Middle School.  She has been a student that moved into town when I was teaching 3rd grade.  I remember that some of her family was from East Liverpool and that started a connection to her and her family that has continued to this day!

I was so honored to shake her hand at graduation, an honor that means the world to a teacher and is held so very special to me.  Our plan to record this podcast was a couple months in the making and when we finally set it up, we had to make some changes tonight and I kept texting her trying to find the right place to meet.  I had finally said to her, "Can you tell that I am a little excited to talk?"

When we finally started the show, she talked about her studying abroad experience for about the first 35 minutes of the show.  It is an amazing story.  It made me think of my times abroad to bring my kids home.

What also is funny about this time with Lee Ann, is that the stuff that connects us, 3rd and 8th grade was hard to remember, but as we talked about it, some memories started to come back to both of us.  This was a good time, good conversation and a little bit of food from Bob Evans!

Lee Ann, thank you for your time!  You and your family will ALWAYS have a part of my heart! Enjoy!
