You might wonder what's so significant about a teacher with a broken leg. The first time that I met Bryan Benevento, a second grade teacher at the Mary G. Clarkson School in Bay Shore, NY. he was on crutches. He was coming into the room with his class to write a song with me. He told me he had broken his leg. I wished him well and did not see him again until this June, a couple of years later.
I happen to run into him as I was making my way into the teachers' room. He was sitting at a table eating his lunch. Jokingly I asked him "how the leg was doing"? I couldn't believe it. I looked down toward the floor and I coulod not believe what I saw. Sure enough he had a cast on his leg. He had broken his leg again. Although we both got a laugh out of it, here's hoping that he is out of his cast for good. Good luck Bryan. I hope to see you in great shape next June.
