Body:	<i>Jean, After your defense of Miss Bowyer, I must respond. It was definitely MISS Bowyer! If you recall, in 1969 the term Ms. was just starting to appear on the western horizon from California. I tried it out on her a few times. She always got a bit angry and corrected me that it was MISS Bowyer. On day I was retained after class and she reamed me a new-one for the â€œlack of respectâ€ I showed to her by the use of the term Ms. I had to try the term out one more time and that resulted in a threat of being thrown out of class. Well, I needed the class to graduate so I moved on to other flash points. She must have been in her late 50s when we had her as a teacher. Oh, about our current age! I wonder how she dealt with the changes in womenâ€™s rights and opportunities later in her life? Did she support her sisters with their new role models, opportunities and rights? Or did she turn into a bitter old prune? Were you in my section? Then there was the Kent State/national guard issue/debate where no one would take the side of the guardsmen. I took up the challenge and argued that the national guard was justified to shoot the demonstrators. Oh my, what a debate. Elson against the class and Ms. Bowyer. I think everybody in the class believed that I really believed my side of the debate. You also have to know that your achievements were used in my house to try to inspire me to do more than coast along. My only goal was to keep above a 3.0 so I could keep my driver license. My response to all of the pressure from my mom was â€œI am not planning to go to college. I think I will join the Marines and go off and die in a distant landâ€. Then the stuff would hit the fan and the topic would be off the table for a few weeks. BTW, Bill R. joined the marines in my place so I did not have to. Thanks for the effort Bill. I was sure a pain in the a$$ during those years. Perhaps, nothing has changed. Cheers Elson </i> *
