Ms. Haley sounds like a real charmer but I take it that Florida does not
have mandatory retirement.

One of the strong influences in my life can be found at the following URL:

What the citation fails to mentions is that she went on to do graduate work
at Columbia.  I liked her because she was a superb English teacher and
because she taught me how to speed read.

Take care,
