My name is Michael Rosenberg and in the 7th and 8th grade I did a series of speeches for Mrs. Bell's class. One of them, a comedy speech on the toliet, she made me give a number of times and in front of the whole school. Thanks to her I later became a comedy writer, author and do public speaking and facilitation for a living. She was far and away the best teacher I ever had in my life and a great inspiration. I often thought about her over the years as I moved from Peoria to Champaign to New York and finally to Toronto. She was always an inspiration to me and, although I have not seen her for over 35 years, I miss her.
