Cis: Which Teacher Would You Thank?

While in school.. good old ROGERS HIGH in Newport, R.I. we had a teacher, Mrs. Clarke... Marion Clarke, I believe. She was a no nonsense English teacher and she would be horrified at my blog and all the mistakes and etc. But I do remember, like it was yesterday, and it was 55 years ago..."Don't come back to this school years from now and tell me, I should have listened to you". "Pay attention to me now!!!" "I don't want to hear it years from now." She was a great teacher. Too bad I wasn't one of the ones who paid attention/Cis, From A Simple Mind. More here.

Question: Which teacher would you like to go back and thank?
