I was a "character" I'm afraid and probably made most of them wish they could quit teaching or at least quit me. Ms. McCarson in the first grade would put me in the corner, but my laughing would spread throughou the class and even to her. In the 7th grade, Ms. Timblin would sort of scold me with words, but I could see the twinkle in her eye that she was a kind person and really thought I was special.<br /><br />Speaking of smaller than we remember - I went back to a house I grew up in. The hallway was so tiny and short and the backyard was nowhere near as big as I remembered. It's wierd how that is. <br /><br />Thanks for bringing back the memories. <br />/DebDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16417695987113812410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-59989916321066655952010-09-08T22:14:47.166-03:002010-09-08T22:14:47.166-03:00This comment has been removed by the author.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-64046842004690618242010-09-08T19:13:40.408-03:002010-09-08T19:13:40.408-03:00Pat, you're probably right about that.

Although I'm sure that there are still some teachers who still can make a difference in a child's life but they are rarer now a day. <br />It was really special to visit her after all these years and she remembered me as it was her very first teaching class after graduating from the normal school as they used to call it in those days. Thanks for stopping by.

I am so glad you got to visit with her as an adult and tell her how inspiring she had been.<br /><br />I don't tinnk kids nowdays will ever be able to look back with the same kind of fond memories. Too much has changed!weaverpathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533327863909312395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-43802464803988567362010-09-07T21:01:15.592-03:002010-09-07T21:01:15.592-03:00You're right Kim, I was lucky .

I had a giggle about you remembering the school-house as larger. I often feel that way going back to a childhood place, but then I remember - it wasn't larger, I was just smaller!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738934059756079283noreply@blogger.com
