Re: To the teachers we had and what they created

Betty, You are correct, I got it as an e-mail but it struck me right off as a keeper. I posted it here because I thought it might help restore Susan’s faith in herself about the problems she’s having swapping pictures. If I remember correctly, she is a teacher also??
I think Gig, you and I were in Mr. Tucker’s biology class as sophomores. I might have taken revenge for Jerry making us watch frog cells multiply by helping put T’s VW crossways on the back steps so he couldn’t get out of the building!  I think I “fought” with Gig once in a battle of the bands at Gary’s Sugar Shack. Moose (life is good) ‘s little brother was our bass player that night. I think Ken Miller was our lead singer. Gig’s band and mine got beat badly by a group from Twin Falls. Seems to me that the winner called themselves JC and the Disciples. Their lead singer hit the big time and sometimes comes back to Jackpot.
You see, I too was going to be a teacher, but I got derailed when my Dad passed away in 1965. But since I had taken Bruce Rumpf’s mechanical drawing class, I got a job working for Cy Higginson and followed that to managing a Computer Aided Drafting System for the state. Bruce gave me a D at mid-term in 1964, which was the first failing grade I ever got. It was not the last poor grade.
Anyway, glad you liked it.
