Back in 1956, I went off to first grade 5wk. before I turned 6. Had to take the school bus, driven by Mr. Graham.
My teacher was Miss Evelyn Albright. She was also the organist at my Dad's church, so I knew her already. At the time, she drove a gray '52 Chevy.
A few years ago, Dad forwarded me a letter he'd gotten from "Eve". It was beautifully handwritten. She was, then, 93. Still living in the same house, never married, and though no longer teaching, or playing the organ, still driving! She claimed I had been her all-time favorite student.
We moved after my first school year.
And, yes, I remember all of my other teachers, in all the other schools, in all the other places. I didn't dislike any of them. And though each had their own impact on me, there were some favorites.
Thinking back, I realize just how much I owe those people! They taught me well! (Eventhough I was usually the class clown!)
Keep smilin'!!
