Bless our moms and our teachers

Last week was Teacher Appreciation Week. It was a good time to reflect back on the many people in our lives who taught us and guided us in our development. It’salways good that we take time to do that.
In the first grade, my education officially transferred from my Mother to my first-grade teacher, Mrs. Durr.
Twelve years later, in the mid-60s, Mrs. Carson taught me in her college prep English course at Germantown High School. Her first name was Mildred, but no one dared call her that to her face. It wasn’t that we were afraid of her; we respected her. When her class was in session, she ruled it.
Milford s Second Street Players is continuing to bring live theater to the region with its next production of An Evening of Culture: Faith County II by Mark Landon Smith. The show s prequel, Faith County, was produced by SSP in 2015.
The comedy has us revisiting a small town in Arkansas where members of the Mineola Council for Cultural Recognition are presenting a performance of Romeo and Juliet. They attempt to bring to life one of the Bard s classic plays on their cheaply built and constantly collapsing stage. Hilarity ensues as it soon becomes evident none are too sure of their lines, some are too old for their roles, the set is falling apart, and a dog will not shut up!
