Thanks Patti for sharing Ed’s article. It mirrors my own fond memories of Mrs. Atwood: she solidified a love of reading and writing that has only deepened through the years. Received an A+ on my analysis of Willa Cather’s “My Antonia.” May these teachers ‘sense’ how our class treasured their skills and efforts.

Most people do not know that Ms. Janet Atwood (and her husband, The Colonel) was the influence behind me running for Class President! We were blessed to have true educators!! She was one amazing lady who "always had a brownie point" to give.

Great column! I'm proud of your accomplishments as a writer, and I'm proud of your teacher for seeing a talent in you that you couldn't yet see. I'm thankful you write because you do a great job, and I always enjoy reading what you've written.
