How many remember the pinkish area in Ms. Robson's hair caused by dozing off while grading the many papers we submitted. I was probably a major contributor for that discoloration, having had to submit pink slips on my pink slips for the many grammatical errors I made, and remade!Wm "Billy Dick" Richmond Holly
Your memory is better than mine about the pink slips. What I remember is having to diagram sentences till we were blue in the face. I hated it at that time, however, later when I hired on with the U.S. Border Patrol it was a tremendous help in learning Spanish. Those with a lesser background in English seemed to have more trouble with learning the Spanish language. Thank you, Miss Robson!Linda Lattier (Mardis)
Thank you, thank you, thank you Miss Robson! You were absolutely the best,strictest,most memorable teacher I ever had. Because of you, I was given an opportunity to take English while still in high school, write good papers in college, help my children and now grandchildren with problems they have in English or whatever they call it now. I have told all my family about Miss Robson and mostly that I didn't appreciate her enough at the time. She was teeny, tough and tenacious but so worth the time she made us spend learning English.
