In graduate school, I became casually acquainted with our library’s director. I would make my polite “Hellos” and “How are you’s” whenever I saw her at the counter to check out my next stack of research materials. She was all of maybe five feet tall with a large build, wore professional, appropriate director-of-graduate-school-librarian attire and regularly pushed her heavy-framed glasses back up her nose when she talked. I allowed myself to be quite content with this level of interaction until the day when I learned that she would be the keynote speaker at my school’s graduation ceremony.

When I was growing up in Seattle, one on my family’s favorite places to “eat out” was at the Captain’s Table. We often came into town on a Sunday evening and waited patiently for a table. The moment I walked into the restaurant, I could smell the sea. There were lobster tanks all around to look into and the noises of happy people. The waiters knew how to treat children and immediately made me feel special. We came for their salmon and were never disappointed. It was a family place and a celebratory experience all rolled into one.
