We Didn't Know What We Didn't Know-Life Laughed Sue and Lisa After more than 35 years in the classroom, we’ve retired from teaching-but not from telling stories. We’ve shared our favorite school-day tales, and now it’s time to turn the spotlight on us. These days we’re focused on growing older (but definitely not growing up).
