Paul...I don't remember the writing book.The teachers I recall were Miss Wolf, a Mr. Duff or Duffy, Mr Yule. Im not sure I spelled that last one correctly. I didn't have a Mrs Schaffer. Maybe her name changed if she married. If not, poor thing probably had to shave. Hee Hee. Thanks for the google info. Will check it out.
