Herr Zarr- the German class teacher.
He was a riot. His mispronunciations were always a real hoot. My siblings and I remember him still.

My future mother-in-law was the substitute teacher one day. Before class, some of the boys were talking about what a hard time they were planning for her. I was obviously upset by their plans. Robert Hansen came to the rescue. He asked them to forbear their bad behavior in my behalf. I have always remembered this kindness.

Finish college before I got married, instead of going to college when I had a house full of children.

I am faced early widowhood a decade ago. Nothing prepares you for the shock. Building a new life is hard work. It is so important to share, and to be kind. Stuff is just stuff, and becomes a burden. I am so much more grateful and observant than I once was.

The only one I have power over is myself.
