My grandparents’ neighbor, known for his collection of cars that he moved to keep out of the sun and covered in towels, huge family, beautiful lawn, and ability to never have a job.

While I remember almost nothing of her teaching, I do remember that she used her fake arm as both a weapon and an instrument to constantly pull her nasty wig back into position.

New at our school in sixth grade, and was just the hottest thing I’d ever seen in his little preppy pink shirt. Was later on The Bachelor, and was even hotter grown up.

I had wanted the other first grade teacher, but ended up being glad to be in her class. She was the first adult I ever saw with braces, and remembered me for years afterwards.

Boho grade school librarian that really loved books and taught me how, too. Let me read the “big kids” book a full year before everyone else was allowed. Knew a reader when she saw one.

Sitting with me and brother, with my other brother on stage, said, “This is about as happy as a man has the right to be.” Sorry about that 22 years. They weren’t your fault.

The glue of our family, the one that made us all be respectful. Laughed until the tears ran silently down his face. “I’m standing strong now, cause I once sat on your knee.”

Spent most of my childhood with her; she loved me more than my mother was capable of. All she wanted from me was to get married and have babies. She saw the first.

Although we were not related, she always treated me like her own. Her family was used to her kindness, and not as kind back. I ended up with the family pictures and heirlooms.

That’s Uncle Larry to you! Tall, thin, avid curler and golfer. Kindly dealt with his difficult wife. We were never told when he died – just got the Christmas card back in the mail.
