Working Through It
Bobby Jenkins
Many of us are thinking about the value of work, given the rising threat of unemployment. Work has extra value for Bobby Jenkins. His mother gave him up when he was a baby, and he grew up wondering why. As he tells Dick Gordon, Bobby thought working hard and succeeding might make his mother regret what she'd done. But as he grew up and his professional life flourished, Bobby's personal life was in shambles.
Bobby was finally able to reconcile with his mother. He says since then, he's still working hard, but now he does it for himself, not to prove his worth.

Amy Braun loves her job teaching at an historic two-room schoolhouse in Vermont. She says the 209-year-old school is an ideal learning environment for her 8 students. But operating the small school for so few kids is now seen as an expense the town can no longer handle, and the school is scheduled to close.
Amy talks to Dick about why the little school is such a unique learning environment and what value it has in the community.
