Cab drivers, governors, executives, literary agents and many others share recollections of their most inspiring educators in this collection edited by Boston Globe Washington bureau chief Shribman. The short quotations gathered in the book describe teachers of all kinds, from a leathery-faced golf instructor to a nuclear engineering professor at North Carolina State University, to a Long Island public school teacher who taught fifth-grade students Shakespeare and made them call him "Sir."
