The December list will be the top 30 most memorable teachers/staff (see rules below), and tonight, we're remembering recently retired teacher DEBRA ALLWEIN (seen here in her yearbook photo, bonus link below to the school board minutes congratulating her upon her retirement in 2012).
Before I found that link, I was all but certain that Ms. Allwein taught English ... but her aforementioned retirement notice says "special education" and now that's starting to ring a bell. Maybe she taught both? Or maybe my recall powers are failing me after working on this list all month long?
And, on a personal note, what I most certainly *do* remember is that she was somewhat flighty ... or, if that comes across as pejorative (and it most certainly wasn't intended that way), I most certainly *do* remember that she was somewhat free-spirited with a high pitched mellifluous speaking voice ... and that she was an angel to those who needed her most.
Here's to you, Ms Allwein!
RULES FOR THIS TOP 30 LIST: Honorees must be one of the ninety individuals listed in the faculty pages of the '89 yearbook (which means two thirds of the list are already not going to be referenced). Honorees may also be selected from the photos of support staff as well (so long as they are on the surrounding pages of the same section). Honorees must be memorable (if there are no stories, then there will be no post about that person). Honorees are chosen and ranked by me (if you disagree, start your own list on your own blog). All memories are believed to be accurate (but are being told through the lens of thirty or more years, so ... you know.)
