John's Story
Looking for memories of Mrs. Globus.
Many of you who attended Redwood Intermediate School in Thousand Oaks in the 60's will remember Mrs. Globus, our English teacher. I was thinking the other day about all the teachers I had in junior high and high school and how many of them made important contributions to my life. But of all the teachers I had during this phase of my life, the one whose impact was the most profound, the most enduring, was Mrs. Globus.

I'll post on this site information I receive and update you on this minor quest. If, like me, you find too few people take time to recognize the value others have brought to our lives, talk this up among friends from the Redwood era and let's see what we can put together over the next few months. In the process maybe we'll renew some old friendships. I've lost track of most of you since I moved away in 1971.
