My 100th Post!

It's been a long road from my first post.  I am finally getting to the point that I think I am getting a handle on blogging.

As I continue down the blogger road, I want to give some thanks to some people that have helped make this blog possible.

LTC Dave Grossman, from whom I got the 'Sheepdog' idea.  You were one of my big inspirations when I first started in the Indiana School Safety Specialist Academy.  Hooah!

Michael Dorn, whom I consider a mentor, and a friend.  If someone back in 2004 would have told me that I would be friends with the world's foremost expert in school safety, I would have laughed at them.  Yet, here I am.  Not only has he taught me how to do site assessments and other school safety concepts, he is teaching me how to be a professional, how to write professionally, and has made me a better person overall.  My wife Robin will attest to how difficult that last task is.

Speaking of my wife, no WAY I could do this without her.  She has been a sounding board, a Devil's Advocate (Sometimes TOO good), a confidante, and has loved and supported me through some very trying times.  I love you, Robin.

And of course I cannot forget all the people who I am responsible for, the kids, staff, and administrators of the Community School Corporation of Southern Hancock County.  You are all dear to me, and are the reasons I do what I do.

Non in meus vigilo!
