"Mr. Smith was one of those rare teachers whose passion, perspective, and style of teaching are so unique that they change your life. I took as many of his history classes as I could. He would have us sit in a circle around him to talk about history. He talked about details of people and places and events, little things that made a big difference. It was more like gossip than a lecture, and it made history tangible for us, made it come alive. History is very much alive for me today, part of Mr. Smith's legacy."

Wow - you're lucky - history was pretty dry for me in school - love it now though! Nice use of the elements! Well-balanced page.
