When Mr. Marshall Died

Hopefully, we all have teachers who have had a real impact on our lives. The kind of teacher you knew at the time was special, and which time has not diminished the reputation.

Mr. Marshall was such a teacher.

He was one of a handful of my Important Teachers, yet I never really talked with him. Only later did I find I was not alone in this. He was the most distant of my mentors, yet I can still regale you with his stories of history.

Today, while searching for something else, I was reminded that Mr. Marshall is dead. He is still missed.
