In 1972, I returned to Miami Beach High School to speak to the drama class. Afterward I asked the drama teacher 21 any of my English teachers are still there. Irene Roberts, he tells me, is in the class 22 down the hall.

I was no one special in Miss Roberts‟ class —just another student who did okay work. I don‟t recall any one special bit of wisdom she passed on. Yet I cannot forget her 23 for language, for ideas and for her students. I24 now, many years later, that she is the perfect example of a 25 teacher. I‟d like to say something to her, I say, but I don‟t want to26 her from a class. Nonsense, he says, she‟ll be 27 to see you.

The drama teacher28 Miss Roberts into the hallway where stands this 32-year-old man she last saw at 18. “I‟m Mark Medoff,” I tell her. “You were my 12th-grade English teacher in 1958.” She 29 her head to one side and looks at me, as if this angle might remember me in her 30 . And then, though armed with a message I want to31 in many words, I can‟t think up anything more memorable than this: “I want you to know,” I say, “you were 32 to me.”

And there in the hallway, this lovely woman, now nearing 33 age, this teacher who doesn‟t remember me, begins to weep; and she encircles me in her arms.
