Chip Regenbogen Class of 73 200 You introduced me to Mark Twain. And after laboriously reading the first pages. I would imagine myself floating on a raft on the Mississippi River This is what learning is all about, and only a few talented teachers are able to bring it out, even in the most gifted students Teachers such as this are rare and you are one of these selected few.
