Please accept my deepest condolences. Mr. Ziemski had my father, aunt, sisters and I. I remember many things from his class, but three are prominent. One, I thought it was cool that he had been teaching for so long that he had my father and my aunt. Two, I still remember the papers he made me write, one that I particularly hated (and I was the only one to have this topic) was on nuclear war between the US and Russia. He would be surprised at how much I have to write every day as a university professor, but it is technical writing, he would give me an F. Third, he would open the windows in winter because if we were cold, we would be paying attention and learn more. When my students complain that a classroom is too cold, I tell them that it is good for them just like he did. I also recall that I was not allowed to complain about Mr. Ziemski's class at my grandparent's (Reid and Elaine) house because they considered Mr. and Mrs. Ziemski to be close friends. I may have felt that his class was too hard at the time, but I definitely learned something from him. Over the last 25 years, I have learned that you are a good teacher if you challenge the students so much that they say your class is too hard! Julie A. Adams - GCS 1985
