I was thrilled to see her. Mrs. Pearson was my all-time favorite teacher. Well, actually she’d been more than just a teacher back then. She’d been a lifeline to a 15-year-old kid with a sick mom and the burden of the whole world on his shoulders. She’d gone to bat for me when my grades started slipping and convinced me that failing or dropping out wouldn’t do my mom or me any good. She’s the one who sparked my interest in the old west and eventually law enforcement. She stuck with me, giving me the incentive to not only finish my class work but to excel and go on to college. She was a sweet lady who saw more in me than I’d ever have dreamed on my own. She was my rock back then. Buck would call her a ‘saint’ for sure if he knew even half of what she did for me. . . me ‘and’ my mom.
And I’d never dispute it. She was a saint. Still is.
Even if she may have just gotten her favorite student from the graduating class of ‘95 killed.
