Teachers"........
.........."Our
Teachers"........
Or as some called them.. "The Good,the Bad and the Ugly."..
but were truly wonderful people......
Please feel free to submit to me, any information you may have on
any teacher on the list below...Information can be anything you feel
will be of interest to other classmates...Things like where the teacher
went to school, when and where they started to teach, their children etc
etc...I will make separate web pages for teachers as information become
available.. Again the list will start with teachers @South Gate
High in 1956 but, if you had an outstanding or not so outstanding
teacher who was not at South Gate in 56 but was special and you have
information on that teacher, we will list them as web-space
permits.... Dave
