It may have been your first teaching assignment; you were unmarried then and I knew you as Miss Goodwin. There is no reason for you to remember me. I was one of the many hundreds of children that passed through that school system. However, I do have many fond memories of you. I enjoyed school very much and the lessons were always interesting and challenging. But the lessons I remember most were the ones of kindness that you showed me during those troubled days of my young life. </span></font></h4><h4 align="left"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Garamond; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt"><font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff">My parents were irresponsible, angry people who were unable to care for children. I dressed poorly and some of my classmates had begun to tease me about my (lack of) personal hygiene. Many times you interceded and gave me clothes that you said would no longer fit your younger brother. They were colorful, clean and warm. I was happy to have them. Your actions had a lasting affect on me that I did not understand until many years later after I grew up.</font></span></h4><h4 align="left"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Garamond; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt"><font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff">I did not know it at the time, but your kindness provided me with a “standard of measure” that I used during those lonely, horrible days to compare my parents' views of the world with that of my teacher. No matter how intense the abuse became at home I never lost sight of the fact that there was goodness in the world; that there was an alternative to my parents' malevolence; and that I had first hand knowledge of it - from you. You helped me to see the difference between the irrational actions of my parents and your gracious concern for me at school. </font></span></h4><h4 style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal" align="left"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Garamond; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt"><font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff">I hope that you will see by the content of this letter that the path I chose was one you helped me to see and to appreciate.
