Joe Cook’s class |
|
| While Pappy was supervising and Mammy was teaching Seminary, some of our oldest and most treasured San Bernardino area friends and neighbors also took on Seminary classes. You’ve already met Charles Eastwood, who taught me in ninth grade. Here’s Joe Cook’s class from Rialto (to the south and west of us); he stands next-to-rightmost among these good-looking young people. |
| When I see Joe (or Jay: he answers to either) this Saturday at the Bountiful Temple, I’ll have to ask him if he can remember which year this was, and who the others might have been. |

In 1966, nearly eight years after I had left the area (following three years at MIT, two and a half in France, one more at MIT, and another at Stanford), I taught summer school at Rialto Junior High School under Principal Joe Cook. French and (“New”) Math. Only time I ever used my California teaching credential. He wanted me to stay and teach there in the regular school year, but we’d already signed up for the next year at Harvard.
To this day (19 May 2011, Pappy’s 98th birthday), Joe says that he loves my parents a lot and that he therefore has me over a barrel: he’ll see Mammy and Pappy before I do, and if I misbehave, he’ll tell. |
