Polly Lovett was my favorite teacher. I followed a lifetime career as an English teacher and writer because of her influence in my life. I will never forget her for instilling in me a love for literature and language.

I had Mrs. Lovett for senior English at Eastern Hills. Her energy and enthusiasm for the subject was contagious. I remember her fondly. She was a wonderful teacher and first-rate human being.

Mrs. Lovett was my English teacher for 3 years at Eastern Hills,and greatly influenced my love of literature and writing. Her kind direction and generous approval inspired the confidence a geeky teenager needed, and the education she provided Has been utilized throughout my life. Unfortunately, you can't know at 16 what you will remember and appreciate about high school when you've reached the venerable age of 72. I should have thanked her. I should have told her that I loved her. Rest well, dear Teacher, until we meet again. I have some poetry to show you...
