Wow, 5th Grade…I am no CK

1970 Arlington heights grade School, Eau Claire WI….Mr Bakkum

This man was the scariest teacher to have ever walked the earth. Not only would he beat you and pull your hair out of your head (it was allowed back then, teachers could pull your hair! Now they would go to jail ) But he also would disappear into the storage closet in our room and come out smelling like mouthwash. I think he in there drinking some vodka or MD 20/20! I heard he eventually got fired for fondling a little girl, pretty sad……

Needless to say the man made a huge impression on me and since I was scared to death of him…I actually got pretty good grades…My parents loved the guy because I behaved! I was a little hyperactive as a child….

Anyway, have a great time tonight celebrating your Sisters accomplishment!! should be a great night for you and your family!!!!

QOTD: I had an interesting 5th grade, the week was split in two and shared by two different teachers. Mon-half Wed was Mrs. Penn, nice teacher but a bit more strict than the later week teach who was Mrs. Pendergrapht, both out of University Hills Elementary, Rochester Michigan. Mrs. Pendergrapht was probably my most favorite teacher ever, that includes College too were a I had a couple cool Profs. (Shout out to Jeff Luck, you rocked too man!)

Cheers!

QOTD: Eugene Field Elementary, Glendale, CA 1979-1980, 5th Grade teacher was Mrs. Reid. However my favorite elementary school teacher was Mr. Bales in the 6th grade. Great great teacher. Thanks for the Eric Kent review Gary.

Mr. Wilbur Meyers. He had such a positive influence on at least all of the boys that we thought of him more as a father than a teacher. Think of the Beaver’s father, yes Mr. Meyers wore a suit everyday, with athletic skills (he’d play football, baseball and basketball with us during recess and PE).

Ciao

CK SHOUT OUT! Go UCF! Just finishing up my final exams, worthy of poppin a good bottle. QOTD: Mrs. Steiner! Whoo! Go Knights!

QOTD: Bob Osberg RIP

QOTD: Bob Osberg RIP

QOTD: Mrs Hall. Not only was she my teacher, I delivered her newspaper for 11 years as a newspaper boy all through school. Then I married a teacher? not mrs hall btw…. but is there some kind of freud issue there, i don’t know

dude the thunder looks like a CNBC stock report going the wrong way.

QOTD: Mrs Burghiem. She kept giant spiders as pets in the window!

Cool, a homework assignment: Buy a under $10 Bordeuax and try it. Thanks for taking view suggestions and drinking them!

QOTD: My fifth grade teacher was one of my favorite teachers: Miss Heck. Teachers got weird after her, it was the sixties, you know.

(Forty-two hours till the draft!)

DORK,

QOD – Mrs. Purdy Northwood elementary, Hilton,NY

QOTD- Miss Wielgosh. I’m no longer sure of the spelling, but I’m very sure she had it goin’ on bigtime. I LOVED 5th grade! Thanks for the memories Gary.

CK!!

QOTD: Mrs. Fenn

QOTD: Miss Dodd. She rocked- she got so fed up with us once that she bit off a piece of chalk and chewed on it.

Mrs Klusmeier, Clovernook Elementary, 1973. A wonderful lady.

G,
Great episode… except no Rudi 🙁
Oh well….
QOTD: Mrs. Nieblo..she was an great teacher that cared about her students….and still does. I ran into her 5 years back and she remembered me! I can’t even recall what I did last week and she remembered me!

Great show

QOTD: Mrs. Finlayson who was a wonderful lady and I remember her being left-handed. At the time, I thought was cool.

Kudos to your sis and enjoy the evening.

Cheers!

Gary.

QOTD: My fifth grade teacher was Mrs. James; she was quite an interesting teacher, and I’m sure she remembers me today – as a child, most teachers at my school probably knew of me (for good and not so good reasons!)

One thing I remember about her class that was cool is that allthough it was a G.A.T.E. “gifted” class, which is just a class with extra homework, we would sing Yellow Submarine and we watched “The Pink Panther Strikes Again” from the Peter Sellers classic series.

Wow… nostalgia… That was when everyone and their grandma wore their pants way too low, wore flannel shirts and listened to grunge music.. Particularly, the Vitalogy album of Pearl Jam was popular that year.

QOTD: Mrs. Brennan, Wells Elementary in Plano, Texas. Greatest teacher ever. Took us 5th graders to New York via train. How cool is that? And she loved the word “penultimate.”

CK!!!!

Interesting show. I was running behind on the episodes so missed my chance to influence WLTV, and indeed history with a selection. Now you’re not asking but how about weighing in on the WOTM from the forum? http://winelibrary.com/reviewwine.asp?item=27847
Enjoy the banquet. I wonder if it will be held at the Westwood on North Avenue, on the Garwood/Westfield border. Many sports banquets there back in the day.
My 5th grade teacher was a vindictive dick so I will not name him. Played dodgeball with us and cheated! Taught me that the world was not always fair so I guess I needed to learn that…..

QOTD: Mr. Schmidt, who read us Rold Dahl. Bless him.

Gary — Is it true that some wine critics give ratings relative to the region, meaning that a 91 point Cru Beaujolais is not meant to be compared with a 91 point Bordeaux or a 91 from Spain? I heard that WA does their ratings this way and I was curious if you do this also when you score a wine?
