Karen L. Baker
Ms. Bristow was my 11th grade English teacher at Memorial Sr. High School. I have numerous memories of her. One was her imperious posture. She reminded me of the carving on the front of a grand sailing ship. The other was how she threw me out of class, telling me to stand in the hall while hurling the epithet "Baker, you're nothing but a catalyst" at me. I have always remembered her fondly and regret I did not contact her to tell her so before she passed.
