A teacher that went the extra mile

Fri, 03/12/2010 - 12:27pm — cmeraman59

My teacher of teacher's was Beatrice Readus. Ms. Readus headed the VICA program, that directed students into vocational areas. Ms. Readus took an interest in my technical training, being involved in Theater Workshop and AV departments, she felt I would be good in a technical vocation. She directed me to a Dentist (Dr. Eugene Mason), he gave me training in Dental Technology.
