Although I hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t heard from Martha Gill in a zillion years, no CHHS\u00e2\u20ac\u2122er who ever had \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Miz Gill\u00e2\u20ac\u009d for English or journalism would ever forget the grammar maven: firm, stern, no nonsense and utterly devoted to her students \u00e2\u20ac\u201c especially the staff of the high school paper, the <em>Proconian<\/em>, seen here in a December 1962 pose for the yearbook. Cutting up for the photographer, we are, surrounding the seated Mrs. Gill, from left, Pat Mann, James Gilmore, Terrell Seawell, Sally Ivey, Melanie Ripperton and Yr Hmbl Svt (with the old Rollie I still occasionally use). Mrs. Gill set me on my life course when she spotted my snapshot album and cried, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Why Jock, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a PHOTOGRAPHER!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Thank you, Mrs. Gill.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A THOUSAND WORDS<\/strong><br \/>\nDo you have an important old photo that you value?
