Author's Note: The purpose of this paper is for the reader to recall each scene as educed by each quote. By having similar quotes together, one may experience a range of emotions from compassion, tenderness, and sadness to sheer fun, joy, and happiness. My wish is for you to enjoy the experience and to just have fun with it.




Disclaimer: This project represents countless hours of careful viewing and reviewing. I have done my very best to be as accurate as possible with these quotes - down to the last a, an, and the - and as well as with the spelling of the names. I tried to use each quote only once, although it could perhaps be included in more than one category and per a slip up, may.

With all of the viewing, writing, typing, and thinking involved, (1) no eyes were left glued to the television screen or computer monitor, (2) no eyes will be found scrolling up and down the computer monitor, (3) no finger tips were left between the keyboard keys, and {4) no brain cells were lost - only stretched beyond use but will eventually return to their normal size and function.

Faith A. Williamson Faith A. Williamson
I was born on November 10, 1948 in Bryn Mawr, PA. In 1950, I moved with my parents to Philadelphia, PA. While working full-time, I earned a B.S. Ed. 1973, Temple University - Elementary Education/English and an M.S. Ed. 1987, The Catholic University of America - Educational Administration/Elementary Education. Most of my teaching career has been at the elementary level with a few years at the junior high level. When I left Philadelphia in 1975, the path I traveled included stops in Baltimore, MD; Washington, DC; Charlotte, NC; and ended in South Florida in 1988. Currently living in SilverLakes in western Miramar, FL, I teach fifth grade in the Dade County Public School System.
