I've had my alma mater (Bemidji State) call me the last two times the job has been open. But where my kids were in school, and where I was at professionally, it just wasn't the right time. A lot of times in this profession, it's all about timing. Still, if you told me 21 years ago that I'd be here 21 years, I'd say you're crazy.
