Thank you, Mr. Tegethoff, for sharing your story. I'm proud you can be just who you are. Yay for King Arthur for taking the opportunity to recognize and celebrate every baker. Someday, when Covid-19 is behind us, I'm going to get in my car and drive to Norwich, Vermont. I'm going to gaze at the leaves turning their blazing reds and yellows. I'm going to have a scone and a cup of coffee in the King Arthur café. I'm going to take home some jam and maybe some maple syrup. I'm also going to shake hands, or whatever takes the place of handshakes in our post-Covid world, with each of you amazing bakers. I'm going to thank each and every one of you for helping me learn to bake, after all of these 66 years on this earth. You are good and supportive teachers, just when my life needed the comfort and warmth of fresh baked bread.
