I was one of Mrs. Terry's students at the University Elementary School in Hawaii. This picture is of our 4th grade class in 1964. I'm center front having just danced the hula for the school's May Day ceremony. For a little girl who wasn't very pretty, wasn't very smart, and wasn't very talented this was my moment. I guess Mrs. Terry was giving me my 5 minutes of fame. I'm sure moments like these help shape a person.
When my daughter changed schools and was new to her 4th grade class she was very fortunate to have had a very supportive teacher. I've always thought of that teacher as my daughter's "Mrs. Terry". Teachers do make a difference. I'm so glad she was my teacher.
