Sixty Seven Years in the Classroom, and She’s Not Done Yet

A Michigan English teacher just earned a Guinness World Record for a 67-year teaching career, which is longer than most of us have kept the same phone number. Beverly Hannett-Price started teaching in 1958 and is still at it, calmly ignoring the idea of retirement. Along the way, she taught students who later became household names, including Robin Williams and Steve Ballmer. The lesson here is simple: love your work, show up every day, and time has a way of piling up behind you. It’s hard not to admire someone who keeps going because she genuinely wants to.

One woman lives in a village at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, surrounded by waterfalls and postcard views. It sounds peaceful, remote, and a little unreal, which is exactly the point. The catch is that daily life comes with real limits, from isolation to the effort it takes just to get in or out. Millions visit the canyon each year, snap photos, and leave, but she stays put. It’s a reminder that every dream setting has its fine print.

That’s enough reality for one sitting. If one of these stuck with you—or made you quietly shake your head—you know where to find me. Until next time. — Doug
