Caulfield – always a step to one side of the mob. Taught several like him over 25 years. I enjoyed watching them develop their plots and plans. They remain the most interesting memories of that time in my life.
Show of hands (figuratively speaking): how many of you were, like me, the kid whose teachers were always telling your parents that you “could do so much better if (you) only tried”?
My principal had a conniption when he found out that I was going in the Marine Corps and not going to college. I didn’t say anything about the fact that my parents couldn’t afford it. This was the early 60’s and coal miners did not make much money. 12 years later, they were rolling in the dough compared to the past. Dad told me that, if I wanted to go to college, he would find a way. But NO WAY was I going to put them through that. Besides, I really wanted to go in the Marines. And now, I have no regrets and I’m closing in on 77.

Mrs. Olsen is a “Damned if you do, damned if you don’t” kind of teacher? She is always right, even if she’s not.

Will Caulfield grow up to be a dashing rogue or an esteemed adventurous hero? Or just a sad lump of excuses? Tune in in 20-30 years!

I’m with Mrs. Olson here. DT, for example, is literally incredible.
