This Friday, April 12 is my 7th Anniversary as a Fictioneer!!! I posted my very first story 12 April 2012
(I didn’t start as the facilitator and I had a lot to learn about reciprocation.)
Genre: Memoir
Word Count: 100
This man influenced me more than I realized all those years ago.
YOU’RE A GOOD MAN, UNCLE CHET
My drama teacher intimidated me. With meerschaum pipe in hand, he commanded center stage.
Etched forever in the cloisters of my memory is the day he offered my partner and me a few pointers on our duet for a drama contest. Mr. Landes dropped to his hands and knees. Tongue hanging, he yipped and sniffed.
It took every ounce of self-control to deliver my lines. “Atta boy, Snoopy, it’s a beautiful day for chasing rabbits.”
After completing the scene, Chet Landes adjusted his ascot and resumed his dignity, then turned to Kent. “That, sir, is how it’s done. Any questions?”
Note: I’ll count this as a comment. I shared the story with the other half of the duet and this was his response: “What a sweet … and hilarious … memory!And you better believe I remember this very moment. Mr. Landes playing Snoopy? Hah! Thanks for sharing, Rochelle. This is very special. Kent.”
That’s a great story, Rochelle. My daughter made her acting debut in a high school play in which she took the role of Snoopy. She used two ponytails as ears and blacked the end of her nose. The crew made a large dog house for her to sit on. It was a success. Good writing as always. 😀 — Suzanne

There are some who we meet on the path of life who merely nod in passing, then there are others who leave their footprints in our hearts. Mr. Landes was the latter for me. Glad you enjoyed the story. I could imagine your daughter as Snoopy. 😉 Thank you.

I started participating on a whim and was hooked from the start. I made some fast friends right from the beginning. The idea of people from all around the world interacting held me captive. When Madison Woods, the founder and creator of Friday Fictioneers, decided to go onto other things, I was devastated. It took some noodging from my husband and a couple of other friends to get me to step up and beg to take it on. Even though it’s sometimes a cat herding expedition, I’ve no regrets.
At the same time I couldn’t do this by myself. I’m so grateful for participants such as yourself who make this one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done. I’m über happy that you’ve become a regular part of my blogging life. 😀
Glad you liked my story, too. 😉

According to Madison, FF is all mine and says that I’ve taken it to levels she never could or would have.

How exhilarating is that?

Poor Mr. Landes. Does he know about your mime chicanery? I bet the poor guy doesn’t have a Do-Not-Remove tag left on his property.
Did he also teach you the Cheech & Chong dog skit? (sniff, taste, and “Good thing you didn’t step in it”)
I suppose teaching you to become a mime was the only way he could get you to stop talking long enough to get a word in edgewise.
That’s quite a legacy he’s left for us. Thanks for 7 years of wonderful friendship. What would I ever write without you?

Teachers do have a lasting impact on students. Your drama teacher seems to have been the great kind, right down to his hands-on approach! I didn’t do drama in school, but I did sing in a concert once and this reminds me of our principal who attended our rehearsals, and showed the lead actor how to do a specific type of british accent. He called it the hot potato accent – speaking as if you had a hot potato in your mouth. Needless to say it was hilarious coming from a principal we only knew to be very stern.
