Dave Story: They Call Me Teacher
Dave Carlson - August 30, 1977

If I ever write an auto-biography, this story most likely will be there. It is a story about my life I thought you might find interesting. Many times when I tell my stories, people say, “You should write a book about that.” So, here’s a start...

But, each time I meet a new class, the first few minutes always bring me back to that eventful day in 1977.

They listened up while in their seats.
They looked at me -- I stood on feets.

They though of me as friend and preacher.
They looked at me and called me "Teacher."
