Body:	<i>I'm sorry, but I have to defend Miss (I'm sure it was 'Miss') Bowyer. She had us do this project where we picked a stock that was sold on the stock exchange and follow it for a month, I think. I made a fortune (imaginary), and have never come close to that much success in the market since. One day, I went up to tell her that I would have to miss a day of class, and I asked if I would 'miss anything special.' She looked stricken and said she tried to make every day special. I went to the girls' bathroom and cried. I felt so bad about that that I wrote to her a couple of times after high school. The first was after I went to Japan in the summer of '69. I was with a group of American students in Tokyo, and we ran across some other Caucasian faces so went over to say hi. They were Europeans and asked us to guess what country they were from. They started giving us hints, and I thought we looked like the Ugly Americans because we didn't know anything. But when one of the guys said, 'You heard about our country in 1956' I remembered it from some history we had studied with Miss Bowyer. It would have been terrible to act like we didn't know or care that his country had been smashed by Soviet tanks. So I wrote to thank her for those bits of knowledge that we always thought were useless until we needed them. I wrote her again a couple of years later when I was getting married, and she sent some lovely hand-crocheted pillow covers. So, please, some respect for Miss Bowyer. Imagine if your life just consisted of teaching US.</i> *
