Well, its finally over.  Not knowing what to expect tonight, I must confess that I had some apprehension about how the forum would turn out.  Fortunately, it went better than I had imagined.  I think we all did pretty well tonight.  Each of us had our moments but over all it was a good discussion.  I had hoped for more turn out because I love it when the community comes out to participate.  But I am much appreciative for those of you who attended.  I have a scheduled interview with the newspaper on Thursday and hopefully I will be able to share with more of you my thoughts and hopes for our School System.  It was good to see my opponent there and I thank him for his willingness to be put under public scrutiny.

Tonight was another great moment for our democracy.
