Paula, I just learned tonight of this profound loss; my condolences come late, but with the utmost sincerity.

You and Greg were such a special couple. He was a great guy. I have so many fond memories.

I'm going to turn on my love light for both of you tonight, and remind you that there is a fountain that was not made by the hands of men.

I know that Greg's playlists will give you strength, and you'll know that the music never stopped 🌅

Much love,
Mark

Thank you for letting us know, Paula. I don't think either of you knows just how important you are to me both when I was a young debater and as a young coach and teacher. I love you both. I will do my best to send you strength.

So sorry to hear about Greg. Very sorry for your loss, Paula. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Mention of the mixes made me smile. That and consistent recommendations of, you know you should read, or listen to "x" are a strong memory of Greg. That and an ability to find humor in so many places.

Many, many thanks to all of you who came by to share memories of Greg Gregory Myrberg yesterday. The love that I felt in that room will keep me going for a long time. At some future time I hope to plan a memorial and celebration of his life. So many messages from so far away made it clear that many who loved him would not be able to attend yesterday's gathering. Someone suggested yesterday that Greg can DJ the event, given the many music mixes he made and shared with all of us. I'll be in touch when I have details. I love you all.

Study Abroad Teaching Position

This is a paid position- as a substitute teacher. The Study Abroad teacher accompanies our group of students to China to study for one semester, September 2016- January 2017. The teacher is hired through EduStaff and helps our students with their online classes.
The students are enrolled in the South Redford School District's online program, S.O.A.R. The assigned teacher will meet with the students and work with them prior to leaving for China. The assigned teacher will learn how the online program works and how to assist the students in their online classes. The students also attend Chinese classes. This is the Chinese school: http://www.tsheducation.com/english/ShowArticle.asp?ArticleID=1698

The students will have their own classroom in China for their SOAR classes as well as other Chinese elective classes. The group will be traveling to Beijing at their own expense and it is $600, teacher expense is covered. There is weekend travel and home stays on the weekend with a host family.

Medical insurance has to be bought to cover any hospitalizations and it is about $20USD. A cheap Chinese cell phone must also be purchased and that is so the students and teacher can stay in touch with each other. It is about $60 per phone and maybe $20 per month for minutes and texting.

The teacher will be responsible for utilities in his/her apartment. The utilties are minimal. It is not like the US.Food in the cafeteria is covered for the teacher, but she/he can grocery shop and cook in the apartment. The climate is very hot and humid through October.

If anyone is interested send a letter of interest and resume with contact information to this email: theffgyc@gmail.com or elizabeth.kangas@southredford.com. Also, go to edustaff.org and complete the application process for South Redford School District.

I will forward it on to our human resource director. It is an amazing opportunity to work with teenagers and visit another country!

Please let me know if there are any questions!

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Kangas

Just donated to the Atlanta Dog Squad... Can't feel sorry about Greg because I'd rather celebrate his life, his laughter and his slightly cranky judging. Good man, great life!

Paula, I am so very sorry to hear this. I thought the world of Greg and had so much respect for his character and his mind. What a loss for the debate community. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
