Editorial : As a former student of John Morrissey, he always taught us to "fight against mediocrity." In this book you can read where all the teachers had a positive and profound influence on the lives of their students, just as John has had on me. This book is a must read for any teacher. --Patrick Fuller, Patrick Fuller, BS, PharmD, former student of John Morrissey
John has captured wonderful stories about teachers who did more than teach subjects; stories of teachers who taught students how to succeed in life. --Luvern A. Gubbels, Ed.D., Superintendent of Schools

"I am not a teacher, but an awakener." Robert Frost, American Poet, 1875-1963 No gift bears greater fruit than the nourishment from a teacher to a willing mind. Those who choose teaching as their vocation don t do it to inform their students, but to awaken their spirits and their ability to learn. John Morrissey believes, and has proven in this collection of stories written by a variety of contributors, that virtually everyone can instantly name his or her favorite teacher. He asked hundreds of people across the globe from many walks of life to share a story about that one teacher who had an impact far beyond the classroom.

As you read these pages, you'll see that an extra spark occurs between a student and the teacher destined to be one of their favorites. Enjoy these stories, and remember to thank your own favorite teache

(Note: I continue to be flabbergasted by the self-seeking liberties taken by publishers who do not hesitate to print the most false an
