You will both be glad to know my teaching methods have become...uhhh...more mature.

Mr. D---I guess since you didn't learn math, you had plenty of time to build your extensive vocabulary and creatively lengthy sentence formations . . All I have to say is: The hall, the hall, the hall---oh the sanctum of the hallowed hall which in my wretched nonchalance I have carelessly violated with my noisy chatter. . . 13 years later, I still remember that beauty:)

You are both funny and literate, an unusual combination for a guy.

That is just part of what I like about you.

My fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Sanford by name, often wore a navy blue dress with golf-ball size, white polka dots. She terrified me with her icy glare under that head of all white, yes it's true, bunned hair. However, she managed to convince me I would never be able to do fractions, which resutled in me finally mastering reading an analog clock. I studied it intensely while Mrs. Sanford taught fractions.
