I loved most of my teachers in school (I had one who was psychotic in the 1st grade that I'll never forget though). In high school I had at least three that made a fairly strong impression on me and encouraged me despite my disability. Most of them are probably long past, but I often wish I could go back and thank them again. Schools were a quite different back in the 80's as we didn't have cell phones and all this other stuff distracting students.
