I was lucky to have Nancy McCracken for 11th grade English. I thought it would be neat to pick Edgar Allen Poe as an author and quickly found that there were many other authors I could have picked that would have been easier. I think that it was because of all of those Vincent Price movies that I picked Edgar Allen Poe!!
Nancy McCracken was a standout teacher, so energenic and devoted to her students. All of the students in my class were smart and deep thinkers. I remember the sessions on The Red Badge of Courage. She would print out sentences for discussion (from many of the novels we read) but I was so impressed mostly by the boys' views on Red Badge of Courage since war was on our minds then.

My Dad loved to come to Open House and always asked if I had Mrs. Eckmann/McCracken, that year.
