Day 348- Muzzdog's Surprise Party

At the Home of Lisa and Andrew and Tom Danks- Saturday, December 9th

We were ivited to the home of one of my students, Tom, whose mother, Lisa, has become friends with Colleen through book club and walking club. It was, much to my surprise, a surprise party! My class, many of their parents, and members of their family came along to say goodbye. And they brought presents too!
It was a touching moment. Cathy Standring, my Principal back home in Mississauga, asked me in an email whether I had left a legacy. I wasn't sure at that point. But now I am.
In case you did not know, the Australian short form for Murray, is "Muzza." My class now calls me "Mr. Muzzdog," a name given to me by one of my students.
