her birth date but she was about 45
when she taught me. She was married
but I don’t know anything about her
family. Teachers didn’t talk about their
families when I was at school. I was
sixteen when I met Mrs Manson. She
was important to me because she taught
me to love history. So then I studied it at
university and became a history teacher,
too.
