Per the photographic evidence above, yes its true, someone asked me to “teach” young people.  I was at Hajek Elementary School in Burleson, TX today.  Actually, I wasn’t there to teach so much as I was there to discuss my career and how I have had to deal with “Change” in my field.  ANYONE working in radio/broadcasting of any sort is certainly aware of the massive amount of CHANGE we have had to endure in the last decade or so.  Some of it good, some bad BUT lots of it.  Here is a little spot we put together for the class’ Rachel’s Challenge initiative which in a nutshell is a movement to spread kindness.
