I always liked that picture....it speaks to me as joy.
To this very day, I am convinced that the woman with the blue scarf and brown coat behind and to the right of MTM in that photo is one of my old 4th grade teachers, Mrs. Armstrong.
I remember watching that show every week when I was a kid and seeing her during the opening credits and saying, "That's Mrs. Armstrong!!!" My parents thought I was crazy...
I SWEAR it is her.
