My Story

Is there a teacher to whom you owe a debt of gratitude for their belief in you and your capabilities?That one teacher for me was Miss Lillian Biard when I attended school at the Navy base in the Panama Canal Zone. She discovered I liked reading, and her love of teaching her students to read brought her and her students tremendous satisfaction. It was then that I decided to be a teacher like Miss Biard.

A Dog Named Sasha

Although I had dogs as a child, I never had one until I met Sasha, a Project POOCH dog. She was a German shepherd mix turned into the Humane Society by her family. She sat in her kennel with her back to visitors, but I wanted to look at her anyway.

KOIN Channel 6 of Portland, Oregon covers story on Project POOCH, and nominates Joan Dalton as which has reached the Final Four of Rachael Ray’s Mutt Madness online competition (2009)
