Miss Erb was my teacher in fourth grade for homeroom and most of my subjects except reading. I know next to nothing about her personally other than that she was not a happy lady when she taught my year. She frightened me, and while I was rarely the recipient of her ill-temper, I saw my cohorts gets whacked and belittled too often. Perhaps it was just a hard time for her. Some years later, I ran into her at the hospital when my grandma was in because they shared a ward together, and she acted breezy and seemed glad to see me.
