When I saw “Olympics”, I knew it looked familiar… that was SO fun. I never was as great as y’all were, but I loved it each year. My favorite teacher… there were MANY. As a youngster, my third grade teacher taught me so much… speed reading, multiplication, creative writing, that (his words) “if you give a kid a pencil and a plastic ruler at home, he will toss it aside. If you give it to her at school, it’s a toy for hours. Put it down.” HA. Mr. Gagnon. Won’t ever forget him.
