Dear Miss. Jennifer Jones

Dear Miss. Jennifer Jones

I can just imagine the joy

they felt

when they thought they

had found you,

or rather you found them ..

After all,

I had been there before,

done all that

and almost wore your

tee shirt out ..

The newness, the impact

and greatness

of those few delicious

moments

after school, still remain

awesome ..

I just cannot thank you

enough ..

Since each one of those

three private

lessons you gave me was

a revelation

and as such, I shall always

remember you

and fondly, my very

dear Miss. Jennifer Jones ..

Ahh, the Jennifer's of the word, we salute you! Where would we be without them? Well i for one would have ate less biccies, as it was a lovely Jennifer that used to give me a choc bicycle from her packed lunch every day at school. I still don't know why, but feel 50 years passing is a tad late to ask.
Yes Bev, it seems we all have a soft spot for the Jennifer's of this world.

Tender and raw—your memory hums with reverence and heat.
Every line carries the pulse of those small, electric victories in connection.

Thanks Thomas, that just about sums it up perfectly .. Neville

Lads remember a female teacher who finds a way of teaching something via a teeny touch of flattery when a student lags behind in eg maths or general science. She praises unusual success to boost morale. The same in reverse happens when praise from a male teacher about technology or English language inspires a girl to think of something other than her hair or fingernails! A teacher who inspires, no matter whether a Jenny or Penny, can raise a C- to B+ in no time - anything to gain approval!

I may be many things but a lagger and an approval seeker I have never been .. still thanks for checking in .. Neville

Miss Jennifer Jones would be proud of you.

[Rosie C]

This is a very sensory piece.

I know the feeling, the closeness, the unbreakable bond.

All so true, words from the heart.

A surprisingly passionate read.

[Neville]

How extraordinarily kind of you Rosie, many thanks indeed my friend .. Neville

[Chris Shaw]

After school behind the bicycle sheds I smoked f**s. It seems Neville, that you had a far more memorable experience with Miss Jennifer Jones. So delicious you remember it decades later. No wonder the gratitude comes through:)
