As Lee Iacocca states, “In a completely rational society, the best of us would be teachers and the rest of us would have to settle for something less, because passing civilization along from one generation to the next ought to be the highest honor and the highest responsibility anyone could have.” We don’t settle. We love what we do. We are honored to serve our community.
