This is Miss Mary Windau (RIP), former Dean of Women and English teacher at Huron High School in Huron, Ohio. In 1962, Miss Windau told me I was a "good writer." It was the only compliment I received in four turbulent high school years. This is not to suggest I was worthy of any at all, for any reason. I never forgot that though and often think about her as I am pecking away at this here keyboard. Interesting how brief remarks can stick with a person for a lifetime isn't it?!
Anyway, a much too late thank you so much Miss Windau. Through those few words, you encouraged me to pursue and enjoy a pastime that remained with me for a lifetime. I did a little internet stalking and have found that many others feel the same way about you. Well done Ma'am. Well done.
