I know who Howard Gardner is. Some where I came across him and when I was a corporate trainer for several years I incorporated his views into my classes. I still reference him a lot with people I think would be interested. I think Joni rates very high in all the intelligences, except maybe math ;) Its nice to see two mentors intersecting.Jeff NP Nanci Griffith, Lone Star State of Mind ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2015 09:17:14 -0700 From: Shari Eaton Subject: Re: Fountain of Sorrow You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight You've had to struggle, you've had to fight To keep understanding and compassion in sight You could be laughing at me, you've got the right But you go on smiling so clear and so bright That sums her up!!

This long hospital stay has me thinking Joni is not feeling well at all. I have been wishing her a speedy recovery since I heard the news. GREETINGS FROM THE TRIPLE M Down a gravel road, where the barb wire meets the sky. MARY M.
