8/26: ann and anne

Today I wrote notes to two friends named Ann(e).  Ann is a colleague; though we work on the same small campus, we don't see each other as much as we'd like.  Anne is a dear family friend whom I've known since I was in grade school--she was actually my 8th grade science/math teacher and helped me study for the SAT way back when; more recently she has been amazing to me and my family during the challenges of my father's death and my mother's surgery.  I am grateful to/for both Ann and Anne.
