Mrs Simons, grade 8, Algonquin School, Thunder Bay, 1974-75. She was magic. I remember one classmate struggling with writing short stories, the mechanics of sentence structure. Mrs. Simons said, "This reads like a free-form poem!" The girl's eyes lit up when she restructured it into verse. /1

Who was YOUR great english teacher (if you had one)? For me it was Hugh Epstein at Richmond college (RUTC). I hope he's well, wherever he is!
