Like all of those who entered with me in the January semester, we little band of 13 (or so) had a slightly less stable experience than most. We had a change of teachers each semester (with the exception of Mrs. Conklin in Kindergarden, Mrs. Kusik in first grade and Mrs Rutherford in 6th). Even the indominable Mrs. Witty retired after one semester of dealing with us. Were we blessed or cursed?
