At the Math, Science, Technology Conference at Exeter in June, I met high school mathematics teacher Patricia Heather-Lea. She shared with me and now with you a message she once drafted but never sent to her students:

“Dear students, I know that you can reach anyone, anytime, anywhere, using technology. I want you to know that you must not lose sight of the here and now, to be able to look into someone’s eyes, and say:

I am sorry;

I love you;

Forgive me.

This ability is critical to the present and the future of the human race.

Love, Mrs. Heather-Lea”
