She was still substituting when I was in High School, she was very strict. My mom taught elementary school, maybe you are remembering further back than High School also. You'll never believe it but the SHS football team no longer sucks. They actually won the state title a few years ago and are ranked 3rd now. There was another, much more famous, photographer from our neck of the woods, Don Rutledge, who went on to work for many years with the Baptist Foreign mission board. A super nice guy and excellent photographer. Most famous work was probably "Black Like Me". He and my mom were classmates in Murfreesboro. My range of gear aint as wide as Sonny's. Started with Canon FD, then Nikon, then Leica R. then EOS with Leica M, then digital EOS. Once I got the M's I never got rid of them. I love those little cameras. As of now I have 2 6es a 5 and now the 9. Harrison.
