Who was the best teacher you ever had? Why?

Mr. Goodrich. If I ever had a favorite teacher it was Goodrich. He was our math and science teacher. He could tell when students were bored and when they needed a challenge and thus I liked him. He taught my senior class chemistry and could tell that I had an ability to understand electronics and electricity. I ended up making an electric photo cell while I was in his class. I don't remember anyone else in the class ever making one but it was something that I really had a lot of fun doing and I think he enjoyed helping me with it. I spent several hours after school even working on it and similar types of things.

Did you ever have a crush on a teacher?

We didn't get many young beautiful teachers out there and so there wasn't much of a chance to have a crush. Not that I didn't have a crush on someone it just wasn't a teacher. I'll leave it to you to guess who that was.

What teacher did you dislike the most? Why?

I don't remember having a dislike for any of my teachers except the 7th grade math teacher if I had to choose one. I really didn't dislike any of them but to me he was a very poor teacher. He was brilliant and had a great mind that couldn't teach on a 7th grade level. He was never able to really communicate with us but probably did OK with the seniors.

What was your most embarrassing school moment?

The day I got kicked out of English Class because I needed to go take more yearbook pictures. I think I have written about it before but it was the worst moment because it was the only time anything remotely happened like that. I was a model student and that wasn't the model I wanted nor the Librarian, mom.

How did you experience the 9/11 attacks?

When the attacks happened I was working for Anderson Cabinets and Mantels. I did the finishing work on all of the cabinets and mantels that were built there. We had a radio in one of the rooms that we could here inmost of the shop. When the announcement came across the radio for the first time I thought that it was just a joke. Then as the continued and we had gathered around the radio we were beginning to be stunned by what we were hearing and as the event continued and they announced the pentagon and the plane that went down in the field with the last calls from people on the plane to their loved ones it started to really hit us.

I went home that night and continued to watch the TV coverage. I will not forget what happened and many of those scenes will go un-erased from my memory.

Tell about the naughtiest kid in school.

Would have to have been Jay for reasons that I have already shared but he really wasn't too bad I guess. Other than that we had good kids in our school and I enjoyed all of them while growing up and attending school with them.
