In 1996-1997, I was 13 and in 7th grade, the grade in which Texas students were required to learn Texas history. My teacher was this good-looking, dark-haired, light-eyed man of 6'5" who still holds the title of "the only man Iris ever loved" because I've still never even had a 1st date! But my OCD mind has trouble sleeping because of this fear I developed around the time of Hurricane Rita last year -- that among all his knowledge of Texas history IS NOT the fact that in 1900 a hurricane wiped out Galveston! What if he goes through life thinking that NEVER IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND HAS A HURRICANE TOUCHED PRESENT-DAY TEXAS? How do I set him straight if he wants nothing to do with me? He never answers my letters or emails and would hang-up his phone at the sound of my voice, not to mention the fact that while 10 years ago he lived here around Houston he has since moved to Austin. I REFUSE to drive 200 miles to have him to ignore me. How do I let him know that Texas can get hurricanes?
