in great appreciation for their inspiration and passion for knowledge".

What do you think???
maybe the second line needs to be re-organized.....

thank you


I'm addressing the second line only. My first reaction was that "from past and present" was unnecessarily redundant. However, on further reflection, I think the phrase should be retained but located differently:

". . . and to all my past and present English teachers and professors . . ."
