First, I go back to my first policy class at Virginia Commonwealth University School of Social Work, which was taught by Mrs. Charlotte Schrieberg. During my first year of studies, I had no idea what policy was or could do, but Mrs. Schriberg opened a door for me that I have never regretted going through. In thinking back to her two foundation year policy courses, I am reminded that I never got an A from her, but in retrospect it was not about the grade. It was about "knowing" and "doing." So to you, Mrs. Schrieberg, thank you for opening the door and influencing my life in a way that few have done. And, of course, I again recognize my best friend and partner, Deborah Colby, an incredible social worker in her own right. For more than 35 years she has put up with my shenanigans and supported me in countless ways. She encourages my work, criticizes my “stuff” in an honest fashion, and has allowed me to grow as a person. I can only hope that this has been reciprocated in a similar manner.
