Mike - I only watched the show this night because of who/what was represented. And it was fabulous to see a former teacher and public servant win the million for the first time ever!

Marty - too true - imagine the difference in the world if teachers were truly treatred as heroes - instead of pop singers and athletes getting so much glory!

This was fabulous. It speaks well of the lady in charge of Georgia Public education. A job well done.

Tammy (Lane Realty) wasn't it too cool. Although I'm not a huge supporter of public education is it nice to see us well represented and speaks to the change she would like to see in the system.

This is great. Congratulations.
