One of my most memorable English teachers ever! He said to always carry a dictionary with you, He knew what the 7th definition of know was in the dictionary! We just thought that was the coolest!, Because of him I never use incorrect participles! He was an excellent teacher in teaching how to prepare a term paper! He’d always have conferences with the student and their notecards and you’d better have it together too! If he called on you and you didn’t hear him or wasn’t paying attention, you DID NOT SAY huh? or what? He taught you to say, Pardon me, but I didn’t hear that; or Could you rephrase that please? Thank you Mr. Fooks for everything you taught me! I continue to carry it with me even today! Class of 1983, 11th Grade English, 4 th period.
