Can't say it was fun at the time...

... but oh brother, did I ever appreciate her teaching a couple of years later when I was staring differential equations 201 in the teeth.  May my high school math teacher, Myra Ponder, rest in peace.

Up until her classes, everything had been easy.  Then all of a sudden, it wasn't, and I had to learn to study.  Just what high school should be all about.  What a great teacher.

Thank you, Mrs. Ponder.
