Regarding Colleen Kelly Mellor's Jan. 14 column "The teacher we could never forget": To this day, I must look up words, phrases, historical remarks, etc., that arouse the curiosity that teacher, Gladys E. McCormick, instilled in me, even though I never went to college.

While watching "Jeopardy" each evening, my husband and I answer a question, and then say to each other: “Miss Cormick!”
