Tom, I had a world history teacher named Bob Meyers. We called him Hogan. He looked exactly like Bob Crane on "Hogan's Heros". He was the best teacher I ever had. He could get you spellbound about it. He taught us about Attila the Hun, The Weimar Republic, everything.He even talked about how the White Russian colonies came to be in the Willamette valley just north of here in Woodburn Oregon. He is largly responsible for my addiction to history. A great teacher.
