answer:Not tears. But I have been deeply saddened by life events that happened to old teachers. My high school class has a facebook page set up for our last reunion, and since then it has been an opportunity to, among other things, share about friends and teachers and parents passing. The drama teacher died earlier this year, and those who had been involved in drama were very upset, as you seem to be @cazzie. I learned that the math teacher I had for two years of advanced math was stricken with Alzheimer’s.. That was very upsetting, since he had been a mentor and also was so sharp in being able to communicate complex math problems and solutions. He was the one teacher I went back to visit after college, one of teh few teachers I’d had that made one feel that he wanted you to succeed.
