I got a junk email this morning from a "Lloyd Bayon" I actually took a second look cause it reminded me of my favorite teacher, probably the one who first sparked my interest in history - Lloyd Ballard, at Glades Junior High.

Well it prompted me to do a google search for him, and he is now teaching at Miami High, and was interviewed on News Hour back in 03. It was great to get to see him on the video feed. He really had a passion for teaching that not only inspired me to study history, but tempted me to think about maybe teaching someday. He was definitely a favorite teacher of mine from all of school and my favorite from Glades. Thank you Mr Ballard!
