One of my favorite teachers at Faraday was my third grade teacher, Mrs. (Barbara) Griffin.  She was a young progressive teacher that encouraged us to do our best.  She was very committed to her students and allowed some of us to even get a glimpse into her personal family life outside of the school walls.  I was one of those fortunate students she took a personal interest in.  One weekend 3 fellow students and myself were invited to Mrs. Griffin's house and while there she fixed us a great dinner with strawberry shortcake for dessert.  This was my first time ever tasting strawberry shortcake and it was delicious!  The only problem with this great weekend was that I broke out with red bumps all over my body from the strawberries!  It was the first and last time I ate strawberries until about 25 years later when I discovered I had outgrown my allergy and again could enjoy strawberry shortcake without the worry of any outbreaks. Yes, Mrs. Griffin was a great teacher and a good cook!
