Gifts by the Side of the Road

A Note from Jack ...

In September of 1957, I entered a classroom and walked into my Life. I faced thirty students and saw my future. I thought I had been given a job, but it was years later I discovered that what I had really been given was my Destiny.

Teaching is a Treasure Chest of glorious adventures that offer themselves daily. The more I tried to "give" as a teacher, the more I came to realize that I had received countless gifts my entire life beginning with those I received from my Five Greatest Teachers whose names are Mom, Dad, Bob, George and Alan. You will be given the opportunity to learn from them, also, as you read their stories in the pages of this book.

During my professional life I received many paychecks, but far more important, I was given Lifelong Friendships that have blessed my career, Tremendous Tragedies that led to my standing by graves dug far too soon for bodies far too young, Healing Humor that brightened the good times and helped me through the hard times.

An excerpt from
Gifts by the Side of the Road
by John Wayne "Jack" Schlatter

The original title of this book was to be Gifts by the Side of the Road. My goal was to awaken a nation to how much Appreciation we owe to those who have gone before and those who are here now.

However, it has turned into a Love Letter to all those I have known and all those I have yet to meet, but who have blessed not only my life but Life Itself.

Over the years I have received so many gifts I had to share them. It is my prayer that, as you read these writings, you will become aware of your Gifts, Gifts that you can leave by the Side of the Road for others. Gifts that will enable you to join with me and proclaim.

This book is a journey I share with you as we discover and come to appreciate all of the many gifts left by wonderful people we have never met. Sir Isaac Newton said, "If I have seen farther than most men, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants." It is my prayer that these stories and observations may lead you gentle readers to the discovery of the giants within you giants of talent, courage, creativity, and compassion and inspire you to leave your gifts by the side of the road.
