Throwback Thursday: Longwood High School English Teachers!!

Suffolk County, New York, late 1980’s.

I had Ms. Hateau in the 10th grade, Mr. Bigham in 11th and Mr. Anderson in the 12th.

These pictures come courtesy of my great old friend, Carrie Schor (who was Carrie Harbach, back in the day).

[Update — my alumni who do NOT have dementia have reminded me that I had Bigham in the 10th grade, and Hateau in 11th.]

This might be a new favorite!
