On another NOTE .... many years later, after I'm married .... at one family Christmas gathering at my parents, as Mom was passing out gifts, she gave me a letter. It was from this teacher years ago & Mom held on to it. It was a very nice letter, telling her how wonderful of a student I was & how I was one of her favorites & how successful I turned out in adult life. After reading, I turned to my wife & said ....wtf ? Mom was in the early stages of alzhiemer's & the letter was actually for my brother ....lol.
