To my former teachers: I salute you all!
I was thinking of those Sisters of St. Joseph and Sisters of Mercy on the first day of school yesterday. How did they do it with 50+ kids in a room? Where did they even put them all? It was 1961 when I started fourth grade at Sacred Heart. My social studies book was divided into three parts for study of three countries: Bolivia, Uganda, and Vietnam. (The Vietnam War had not begun, at least not openly.) It was the first time I saw a TV in school. They hauled one - a huge and heavy thing - into Sr. Aqualina’s classroom to watch John Glenn’s spaceship land in the Atlantic.
