Body:	<i>Well, I feel I must weigh in on the subject of teachers who left a lasting impression. Agnes Shea was an original. She was pushy, outspoken, a bit abusive, and a relentless supporter of her students. She and I clashed often. I was both in her homeroom for four years and in her Latin class. Homeroom buddies have told me they vividly remember the two of us sparring and frankly I have to admit I probably enjoyed it. (No doubt I complained bitterly at the time!) 'As ye sow, so shall ye reap.' That was one of dozens of phrases she repeated over and over again in an attempt to raise our consciousness. She did everything she could to get me to be more of a student and less of a recalcitrant. She even found me somehow on a day I cut school and advised me to get back to school, pronto! I learned so much from her...even some Latin! Her legacy lives on. My son took four years of Latin in High School and he too, owes a part of his learning to the imitable Agnes Shea. Anyone else have memories of her??</i> *
