Marianne Love, who spent a combined 33 years teaching in the Bonner County School District 82 and Lake Pend Oreille School District before retiring in 2002, now finds her son, Will, following in her footsteps as a journalism instructor and advisor for the Cedar Post student newspaper at Sandpoint High School. As Will gets his footing in his first year of teaching, Marianne plans to keep her counsel to herself. “As a mother of a first-year teacher, I figured out my own words of wisdom: ‘Keep your mouth shut and give suggestions only when asked,’” she said. “I’ve tried to stick to that, but have faltered a time or two.” Like a few others in the LPOSD family, Will entered the profession after making a name for himself in another field/ David Gunter , Bonner County Bee.
