From The Editor
Celebrating Teachers They praised us, punished us and tested us. They plastered our homework with gold stars or frowny faces. They taught us to read, write, count. They wanted us to be decent human beings. Young, old, funny, strict, dedicated, caring, sometimes not, teachers helped form our childhood memories and adult lives. We asked readers to recall those teachers who most influenced them, those whom they remember to this day. The response was impressive and varied. Enjoy the stories, memories, comments and photos.
