Who was your favorite teacher? Today is #ThankATeacher day. My favorite was Mrs. Barbara Abbott, who was a teacher at Monte Vista High School in Danville, California. Mrs. Abbott was my Shakespeare teacher, and during the summer she would take a group of us to the Shakespeare festival in Oregon where we would camp out and watch a different play each day. (Sometimes more than one each day!) She was a marvelous teacher, with infectious enthusiasm, and showed us the beauty of the English language. I still remember her warm smile, her laugh, her dedication to her students, and a passion for Shakespeare that she passed on to her students -- a passion I still share.
