"People Who I look up To"

Answering Interview Question:
What kinds of things have you learned from your most memorable teachers?

"English and, of course, Cobol. Those kinds of things.

In high school, Mr. MacDonald (Uncle Mac) was my favorite teacher. I took every English class he taught. He told terrible puns ("I shutter to think about the things that camera has seen" -- like I said, terrible). But he proved you can be a goof and still get respect.

In college, I ran out of money before I got my degree. I had a gazillion credits, just not the right credits. I was three classes short of a bachelor's degree. A few years after I left CMU, a prof called me (through my in-laws through my wife to me) and said I needed to finish the program.

Imagine that... a professor who cared about a former student. I'm not sure what that's taught me, but I suppose it has something to do with staying in touch and helping others achieve some goals."

"Mr. McGuire taught me self respect in the 5th grade. I'll never forget him for that. He has also been in my life in a sad way throughout the years. He has attended funerals of my family members and that to me is so amazing. He taught me that when you enter a room and someone is speaking stay by the door and wait until they are done, otherwise you are being rude.
Mr. Brakke taught me how to read deeper into books. Mr. Mandley taught me that I am better then what I think. He taught me kindness and hope. "
