My teacher
A force in my life
Keeping me with the pack
Putting herself out
To give me a chance
To succeed.
8/24/04 22:05 – About my 4th grade teacher Susan Oleksak, at Abner Gibbs Elementary School, Westfield, MA, who came to my house every Thursday afternoon for 3 months in the fall of 1969, keeping me with my class while I recovered from knee surgery, before arthroscopic surgery.
