 I remember Mrs. Kirk who substituted would go nuts if you said "shut up" in her class. Its really funny, because this is one of those words that upsets me when my son or any of his friends use. Mrs. Masch, was actually the mother of Jeannie Masch who also graduated in 68 with me. She also has a sister too, who looked just like her. They were both at the 2003 July Reunion and brought pictures. They are all in Oregon or Washington state as I remember. I also had Mrs. Miller for 5th grade and she lived across the street from where we lived. So I would see this very staunch tall women, with hardly any emotion on her face, walk to and from the Manor ever day. I remember her reading to our class from the book, The Rose Garden (I think) and telling us all kinds of tales about Arkansas (Again if memory serves me correctly I think this is where she was from). Now that I live in Texas, I understand her demenior more and why she probibly hated being in the "North" with all those "Yankees". Mrs. Miller in 5th grade! My best memory of her at Seaford Harbor Elementary (circa 1967-68) was when she brought in lox and bagels (!) for us all to try. She had to stand very straight because she wore a back brace, and who could forget her hair: that tight bun that pulled her face back. Another great teacher in the Harbor was Mr. Stutchin. He goes down as my all-time favorite elementary school teacher-I'll never forget him. Compassionate, humorous, and kind. Mrs. Rosen scared me and I didn't have her, but I had an experience with her that showed me what integrity looked like. |

Mr. Stutchin goes down as one of my all-time favorite inspirational teachers. I had him in 4th grade at the Harbor, and think of him so often. I'd love to be able to let him know how much he has influenced me to be a better person.

Mrs. Brummer- She was amazing. She started as a substitute for Mr. Dridge when I was in 10th grade, and then got a full time gig. I had her senior year for "US in World Affairs." Our "textbook" was the New York Times. She was amazing. Demanding. Strict. We performed for her! I wrote her a letter thanking her, the day I graduated from law school. Also, I respected Ellen (Karpel) Stein. English. Ms. Dalpan. Math. In my lower grades - Mr. Bromberg was a task master. He had us reading the Illiad and the Odyssey in 6th grade!

Mr Stutchin was also one of my two favorites. His (1970-1971) 4th grade class was the best. We would throw bean bags to eachother daily and he would let us flip baseball cards in his back. I also still quote him (what are the 3 biggest forms of communication? Telegraph. Telephone and tell a woman!) Ha. He would probably get sued these days for saying that. I also have vivid memories of him teaching us about Baron Von Stuebin and how to spell vegetable (VE- GET- ABLE). I think I head he had a heart attack quite a few years ago. I dont know if he died at that time but for some reason, I heard he had. I hope I am wrong.

Mrs. Kirk was the substitute teacher. Her son, as I recall, wrote a book which was called 'Tippie Canoe and Tyler, too'. Don't think it did too well and that, plus saying 'shut up' would drive her absolutely crazy. Our class of '69 actually dedicated our year book to her. We sure did torture her. I know EXACTLY how she felt when I did subsitute teaching. I called it "COMBAT DUTY".

What ever happened to Miss Reed, the English Teacher? I had her in 10th Grade English. She was very demanding but I liked her just the same. Also, Mrs. Kirk had a brother who was an author. His name was Quinton Reynolds. The only book I know of that he wrote was the FBI Story. This information is being provided to you by a "half senile old man" so it may not be 100% accurate.

Mrs. Brummer. One of the BEST teachers I've had ever, including college and law school. She started as a substitute for English teacher Mr. Dridge. They brought her in full time. She taught an elective called US IN WORLD AFFAIRS. Our "textbook" was the NY Times. Our tests were all essays. She'd write on the board - "BS." That meant BE SPECIFIC. She was a task master!

To Mr Buckley. Although I never had him as a teacher I shared a lot of detention time with him. Especially in 12th grade he caught me cutting out on numerous occasions and although my mom alibied me he asked me are u going to allow your mom to make excuses and take the easy way out or are you going to look me in the face and take responsibility for your own actions. What could I do moment that defines u I narced myself out and it cost me so many days of detention. I worked for him in his little office and he always had advice that boiled down to you r only as good as your word. 6 months later I enlisted in the air force and straightened my life out never got to tell him Thanks Mr. Buckley
