Miss Nakayama's 1st Grade Class -1986-1987 School Year

She was the most graceful teacher I knew with her soft spoken speech, grand style of handwriting, and the way she would conduct the national anthem.  She wore her respectful sweaters and skirts while waving her right hand around gesturing the rise and fall of the notes to the "Star Spangle Banner" to guide and conduct for our 1st grade class.  She still remembered me when I revisited her class 13 years later, in 1999, of which she had her class in the Annex.  She had remembered my father, Mr. Meesriyong as she asked about him and reminisced on how he would regularly bring in fried rice and other sorts of "delicious food" for the teachers as she informed me.  I was too young to know this and he never spoke of his kind deeds.  I was surprised she had remembered him and myself as I have changed greatly.
