If you walked a mile in my shoes you would know that Walkin' The Tightrope is dedicated to the loving memory of my father Doug Chaffee. 

To continue taking steps in the right direction I promise to keep running after my dreams of being an art educator, and to try my hardest to be as brilliant and patient of a teacher to my students as my father was to me.
