View from the Top is an opinion column exploring all things Huntsville. It is coordinated by Doug Martinson. Today’s guest columnist is Georg von Tiesenhausen.
I am very pleased to publish this column by my Huntsville High School English teacher. Mr. VT, as we all called him, was straight out of Central Casting for a high school English, Debate and Drama teacher. He had a beard and glasses and had a reputation for being tenacious and expected a lot out of you. He taught his students how to write, debate and to think. Mr. VT was the epitome of a teacher, he truly cared about his students, even if we didn’t realize it at the time. – Doug
