Eew. Must've been a pretty stinky experience.

The answer would be my history teacher from Grammar school. He was the man who introduced me to Communism and my hero, Stalin.

Spits,
While you're here, what happened to that post where the commenters went nuts? Did you dump it? I came back to look at the comments more, and it was gone. I know it had you ticked off. Did you s-can it?

Mr. Scalpi. 10th grade English.
He forced us to learn how to write like educated humans. As in, with beatings when needed.

I'm sorry Alf.
That sucks. At least you both had the pleasure of meeting and you have the memories to cherish.

Definitely my high school French teacher. She always encouraged us to do and see new things and to get out of our semi-redneck town. Jerry Hall went to my high school and she and Ms. Ataway were buddies. We could always derail her by asking about Jerry, and the Mademoiselle would proceed to tell us about meeting Mick and the Stones...then before you knew it, class was over!

Spitsy,
I had a Spanish teacher at the community college that never had to reprimand me for being late to class or absent. I was always paying close attention. She had the best ass I have ever seen.

Latin teacher
When I was in Grade 9, there was a Latin teacher, Mr. Reynolds, that was so incredibly gorgeous that he took my breath away (and the breath of every girl in the school, it was suprising the medics weren't there every day).
He taught first period Latin in Room 210. I had history in Room 210 second period. If I RAN LIKE HELL, from my first class to second, I could sit and watch him for the 5 minutes it took him to gather up his books before my history teacher arrived.
I was never late to history all of Grade 9

Yes, he died of cancer about 5 years ago, I am still upset that I missed the funeral. I wrote his wife a letter though. I used to stop in his class room a couple times a year and he would put me in front of his class and tell them all of his Alf stories, most they had heard before but it was always different having the real Alf in the room. I miss him a lot.

Alf,
He sounds great. But why do you talk about him in the past tense? Did he pass away? Just curious.

Mr. Ralph C. Baar, my science teacher, who was also my great friend. He had a way of igniting young minds, even those who resisted. Humor was his tool, that and his honesty, and his ability to share of himself and his own life experience. He did more for me than I could ever describe.

Mr Ward
Grade 9 English and 2 English courses in grade 13. He was tough but passionate and in grade 9 he read only one story written aloud to the class..mine. I was so shy in those days and while he read it out loud the sweat dripped down my arms. I had a university prof I totally wanted to have an affair with but it was just a lot of flirting and one shared drink. Ahhhh...memories without a good ending. ;-)

Mr Anderson
I went to a private high school wear the teachers wore many hats. MR Anderson taught art, bible and history classes. MR anderson was a character. Very orderly guy, everything in his art room was labeled, everything and you had to sign things out if you borrowed them, his hair was always immaculate as was his mustache and his clothing. Aside from that he was a stickler for discipline and he had this unique way of maintaining order in the class room. WHen the class would get too talkative he would say firmly "quiet" and the murmur would lessen the he would say "quieter" and there would be less murmur and he would repeat himself firmly until there was dead silence. And if he could pinpoint you as the one he was talking he would say "are you talking" . Despite all of his gustapo like antics this man was a brilliant teacher. He would come up with all sorts of fun learning games and made it easy to learn. Even the bad students did well in his class. He was a very effective teacher.

Mrs. Chun!
My second grade teacher, Mrs. Chun! She was the best! Encouraged us to learn, was always sweet and fun.
Other than her, my college professor, Craig Howes. Brilliant man!
