Happiest birthday, Mr. Robinson! I'm reflecting back on my high school years, many moons ago, and the impact you and the rest of the English department had on my development, confidence, sense of self worth, and sense of belonging at Walton. You, 
Karen Mannis
, Greg Fleenor
, Mrs. Rathjen, and Coach Bobby taught me accountability, belief in myself, a love of literature, the joy of escape into fiction, and joie de vivre. Thank you for being a foundational part of my story and a light for the closeted gay kid in 1990s Cobb County. I hope your day is full of peace and love
