When I was in the third grade, somewhere around 1954, "old lady" Spence would paddle my butt with great regularity.

A few years ago the small town where I went to school had a 100th B/day party for her and all her former students who could were asked to attend.

I considered going because I figured that at 100 years old I could probably take her now.

I didn't go though.

Isn't it wonderful how we remember those teachers who were not our favorites at the time, but whose tactics have really stuck with us for over half a century? I kid about Mrs. Link, but she is the one I remember! Along Carol Norton, Mrs. Newell, Mr. Shaughnessey and Mrs. Raulerson. It's hard to believe it's been over fifty years and I still remember those teachers! God bless 'em.

Now that's funny!
