Another one, missed people that are in a better place...missed those I haven't spoken to in a long time...enjoyed my wonderful family and the feeling of joy that children exude from their little bodies. My life is all I could wish for right now. Hope everyone else had such a nice holiday.

Russell Merritt-Instructor, Artist and Renaissance Man By Chris Blankenship When a student asks themselves what the best qualities are in an instructor, undoubtedly they will come up with things such as caring, interesting and knowledgeable.  Those of us enrolled in the DMD program at COTC are lucky to have an instructor who personifies all of these things and more: Russell Merritt. I recently interviewed Russell and three of his former students and found their answers very interesting. When asked about their first impressions of Russell the student responses ranged from "tough" to "an instructor that really cares about the students". Da
