David M. Shribman, Executive Editor of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and nationally syndicated columnist, spent more than a year traveling America and asking everyone he met to recall a favorite teacher. His collection of testimonials became the briskly selling book, I Remember My Teacher: 365 Reminiscences of the Teachers Who Changed Our Lives, on which this new calendar is based. Readers will delight in the heartwarming and sometimes amusing stories recounted by all manner of former students. Mario Cuomo remembers his tough-as-nails shop teacher, who not only taught the unruly kid how to build a corner shelf but taught him discipline as well. Teacher Joan Osborne pictures Mademoiselle Powell, her high school French teacher, who, while demonstrating the difference between en and dans, jumped into the wastebasket and got stuck there. Readers will most certainly discover that whatever path a student may follow, the lucky ones have a teacher to help light the way.
