The December list will be the top 30 most memorable teachers/staff (see rules below), and tonight, we're remembering MICHAEL WEBB (seen here in our yearbook exactly as I picture him, bonus link is below to Esquire's ranking of the 10 best mustaches of all time -- sadly, his didn't rank).
He was the man ... the myth ... the mustache ... the teacher known as Mr. WEBB. As I recall, he also had a connection to girls' sports in our school, coaching basketball at some level. (Since I wasn't exactly 'sporty' in high school ... and I certainly wasn't 'girls sporty', someone over on the Facebook will have to correct me if I'm wrong.) I *also* could have sworn that I saw that he recently passed (of a sudden heart attack?) ... but I couldn't find proof of that tonight when I tried to find it on the interwebs.
And, on a personal note, I had double the exposure to the mustache early on in my high school life, because he was both my homeroom teacher as a freshperson AND he taught me 10th grade English. In both cases, I remember that he just kind of looked at me bemusedly most days, not quite sure what to do with me ... or maybe he just had "resting bemusement face".
Here's to you, Mr. Webb!
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.)
