I had great teachers, especially my English teachers. I started reading Shakespeare in my leisure time, thanks to them!

If I had to give up Mr. Sheaffer, Mrs. Church and Mrs. DuPratt in order to watch the horse race I think I'd stick with the teachers.

(Now, if we could also bet on the races, that'd be different. I'd trade and ask that you give me Arcangues' BCC... )

I still recall so many lines from his works from high school...it's amazing how teachers can really drill something in your head. (I'll die knowing the preamble thanks to my 7th grade teacher.) I think my favorite work was Merchant of Venice. Science, and mainly physics was my thing in school, but I think my English teachers influenced me most. I was fortunate in that I went to a small school so we were asked to read many things that I don't think children are asked of now and many of my peers in college hadn't read either.
