There Have Been Very Few (who have influenced me in my 72 years).

Who was your most influential teacher? Why?

In High School in the 1960s, there was a man, who was apparently gay, and not one person in Louisiana ever said a word about him, nor made fun of him. He taught speech. I reluctantly, but extremely wanting to take his class, finally took it with fear and trembling. Every speech I gave, I screwed up, and I barely passed, but he’s never been forgotten. He influenced me throughout my life, and I’ve never had stage fright since his class, and I’ve spoken publicly in quite a few places. I don’t remember his name. But he was a Byrd H.S. In Shreveport, La. His instruction was excellent.

Number two: Qigong is an exercise that I can do safely without falling since I had CPR six and a half years ago. One of my favorite instructors is from France and her name is Knsey. Her instructions go with me whenever qigong is being used. She can be found on YouTube.

And for now, that’s all the people who I can remember. But, I have a brain injury and remembering is difficult for me.

I must mention my family members. All of them have inspired my life.
