Last night was really a thrill. During the Leadership Reception (with NSBA officers, Board of Directors, and state presidents), an unexpected guest dropped in. As I was waiting for the receiving line to greet the officers, a colleague brought a familiar face to step in front of us. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor had decided to join the reception.

She was wonderful! Justice O'Connor spent time chatting with reception attendees, and when Anne Bryant introduced her, she was gracious enough to speak to the crowd. She thanked the school board members for the work they do on the behalf of children to make education better -- and she acknowledged what a difficult job school board members have.

This blogger was not only moved, but inspired. For more inspiration, be sure to go to Justice O'Connor's General Session later this morning.
