There was absolutely no question of whom to invite to take photographs for the blog. The talented photographer is
Noam Rivkinfenton and I thank you Noam for all the years that we spent together and taught each other so much.
Noam is/was one of those so called “learning disabled’ students who is now grownup, talented in his field, independent and making
a name for himself and can be very very proud of his achievements indeed.
He walked in with his camera slung over his neck and a huge smile of recognition of the place. “Wow!, its such a wonderful feeling to see all this again”, he said,
and ran to the room where he used to sit. I just watched the whole scene with a tear dangling at the corner of my eye. He sat down at the table with a look of satisfaction, as if
he had eaten all the food put before him and said.:”the scratches that I scratched into the desk are still here….I left a mark!”
At the end of the day, I put myself down on the “other side of the desk” and for the first time in all these years, I noticed all the lines and scratches in the wood and
a feeling of excitement came over me. How many of those wonderful young people have left a sign on my table and have journeyed out to the
world and made a huge success.
Thank you Noam for the pictures and reminding me of all those that have made a mark on my soul.
