Mr. Frank Lombardo:

American History and English - 7th Grade - Fairlawn, NJ.
He made both subjects interesting to me. He was also the first teacher I ever had that didn't just stand at the front of the class and drone on. He would jump on the table to teach. He would sing the lessons if he thought it would help. He was also the 1st teacher I ever had who let me be creative without telling me I was trying to show off or didn't want to "learn like the other students" as another teacher once told me. And when he wasn't teaching, he sang opera for local opera companies. He showed me that opera wasn't just for rich people with nice clothes. He also cast me as Ben Franklin in our class production of "1776". That got me interested in musicals and stage plays. Still am. :-)
