The first person I think of was Miss Sackman -- she taught history at Central High. Miss Sackman had a passion for history and for going to college. She treated us like college students and preached constantly about going to college.
Mr. Hahs was my 9th grade biology teacher at Central Junior College and he made science, even dissecting frogs, so interesting. I did not make the best grades in the class but I loved the class and learned so much. Coach King was my driving ed teacher and he made me relax and enjoy the driving experience instead of being worried every minute about hitting another car.
I worked in the office and picked up the attendance cards each day that the teachers hooked to the outside of the door. Mr. Hines, the assistant principal, was an easy-going man, so far as I was concerned and I enjoyed my work time. Mrs. Dippold, who was the secretary in the office, was very, very nice.
And yes, I'd walk a mile for these teachers and all the other teachers whose names I can't remember. They were there when I needed them....
