Mrs. Nall’s Classes

A former student (from 1989-1990!)  just emailed me to tell me that he had recently come across his old journal! On his blog site, he actually has photographs of some of the journal pages.  (It’s phenomenal that he has kept up with his journal for almost 20 years when some of my students can’t keep up with it from one day to the next !  ;  )   He googled my name to see if he could find me, which led him to this edublog. (Thanks, Chris, for writing.  I remember you well.)  It’s easy to find his journal entries at this address:  http://www.1up.com/do/blogEntrypublicUserId=5380067&bId=8794954.   

I am including his comments below: 

“She began teaching at Collierville Middle School in 1989. ”

I remember that part!

Hi, Mrs. Nall — it’s Chris Baker from your 1989-90 seventh-grade English class. I recently rediscovered my journal that you had us write, which made me think, “Hmm… I wonder what would happen if I Googled ‘mrs. nall’ and ‘collierville middle school’…” The result: Finding your blog here!

I wish I had more time right now to tell you what I’m up to these days, but the really quick version is that I’ve got a bit of a dream job in L.A. working in Marvel’s videogame division. Before this, I did a PR for about two and half years at LucasArts (George Lucas’ game company) and was an editor for the Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine for almost five years, both in San Francisco. Actually, most of the details are here: http://www.linkedin.com/profile?viewProfile=&key=4447664&trk=tab_pro

Oh, and you’ll definitely want to check out my blog at the URL I included. The last few entries are all about looking back at my old journal, and you’re even mentioned in the pages within.

Anyway…thanks for being an awesome teacher I’ll always remember. I hope all is well!

All my best,
Chris
