Nice tribute to Mr. Dohle, Reg. He was pretty cool. You were lucky to get him before he had his own child. We underclassmen had to "share" him with the new baby.
Methinks the teacher that influenced me most was Mrs. Dorothy Patton, my English teacher from Madison Jr. High. She was quite eccentric and claimed to have been a prima ballerina and an FBI agent in her life before becoming a teacher. Mrs. Patton wanted us to believe in ourselves and be whatever we wanted to be.
