| | I second what Michael said; teachers and professors have always been my heroes.
Many are gone, but I not so long ago looked up my 4th grade teacher-- our class was her first year of teaching, shes long retired -- and took her to lunch. (I highly recommend this, if/when it is still possible to do--not my 4th grade teacher, but any of yours...) She had b/w rolls of every class she ever taught, with the names on the back of the photos. To say 'thank-you' after all these years, because she was one of many who 'well offered' the education that was my responsibility to take. She made school a pleasure.
Hell, I married a teacher. Not quite what it sounds like we are the same age...she's president of the local school board. Her last year after twelve years of service. I will finally have her all to myself...more or less.
regards, Fred
