My favorite teacher was Mr. Lightfoot who taught Civics at Edison Jr. Hi and followed our class to Custer.  He made the class come alive.  On test day he would hang a noose on the blackboard.  One day he was really dramatic and taught by standing on top the desk like a statue.  My old addled brain doesn't remember the topic but I can still see him up there!  He sure got our attention.

Shirley Sherwood was the most inspirational teacher at Custer!  She taught large groups...musicians.singers, dancers, lighting experts, costume designers, actors and actresses and managed to keep them all in control (except for some of the 62 grads.)  She was a true inspiration who gave me (and many others) a life long love of theatre. sal

I would certainly go along with Mr. Lightfoot, but I don't remember him standing on the desk.

Hey John!  It is nice to hear from you. 

Thanks for replying to my long ago comment.  

Best wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving.  sal somodi strand (my heart is with 1963!)

Good Morning Sally,

We are living in the town of Grafton (as opposed to the village) just north of Milwaukee. My wife Betsy works at Charter Maufacturig as a web developer/internet specialist. My oldest daughter lives in Florida with her husband. My son Ian goes to UW Plateville and is majoring in business. My daughter Shelby goes to UW Parkside najoring in art.

It was good to hear from you. I often wonder what happened to my classmates. The only one I have had any contact with is Keith Jung on Facebook.

I hope you have a nice Thanksgiving and a Happy Birthday.

John
