I thank my friend, Mr. Jeffords, for his recollections of teachers. I remember a Miss McCone who taught history. And she asked me a question one day. I said: Huh? And I kept on studying. I was paying attention to my reading, and Miss McCone had not said another word. Next thing I knew, she had walked around the room and she came up behind me and gave me a resounding slap on the cheek and said: Robert, don't you ever say ``huh'' to me again. I never said ``huh'' to Miss McCone again.
