In remembrance of Harry Zentner...

1/25/2011

This is a remembrance of Harry Zentner. I was a student of his many years ago (I will be 53 years old in March). Something made me think of him today, so I decided to Google him and discovered he had passed away (it brought tears to my eyes). As he was my teacher long ago, I have more feelings and impressions regarding him than detailed memories. But I guess I wanted to share that he made a real impact on my life. He was my teacher at a time when I had very low self-esteem, and a largely absent father who worked 12 hours a day/six days a week. I think Mr Zentner was a badly needed father figure for me, who inspired and guided me with his sense of humor, compassion, understanding, and his obvious love of teaching and for his students. I somehow got the sense that he believed in me, and it helped me to believe in myself. I'm a professor now at a university in S. Korea, and it has just occured to me that the kind of educator I strive to be, the image I have in my mind of what a good teacher is, is basically what Mr Zentner represented to me. To this day, of all my teachers (including my university profs) I consider him my favorite without question. Thank-you, Mr Zentner, for your presence on this earth. I know my life has been richer for it. Rest in peace.

Seriously though Peter, your submissions are greatly appreciated and enjoyed, and we would like to take this opportunity to once again gently remind our dear readers that this little e-rag depends on their input, be it personal stories, photos (old or new!), or even e-mails that are just too funny not to share.
