I agree with the thoughts about the Netflix show, Surviving Death. I was moved by the story about the cardinals. 

 

Also, my mother told me of her 'near' death experience after she died during childbirth for about 2 minutes and 45 seconds. Her experience was in 1970. I was told in 1978 when I was 13. And I've basically been interested in supernatural stuff ever since.

Who the hell was that with? Mr. Rust?

Mr. Rust made us read "Death and Dying " by Elizabeth Kubler Ross, I remember that as one of the books that got me interested. That guy was a great teacher, I still use some of the stuff he taught.

'Doctor Dave' was one of his early nicknames.  Eminently preferable to the other psychology teacher who came, spent a year, and ran off for the hills.  I didn't know you were a fugitive from the

'State Jail for the Criminally Insane'.  And before you protesteth too much, Joe Wolf was the one who told us grade 11s that  nickname. 😁

No, he was psychology, I think. This was with Mr Scott  and the other guy (also an EMT, Mr Ende?) in religion classes. The Christian Brothers taught chemistry and biology while the lay people taught religion, which I always found interesting.

Hence my comment regarding 'the other guy'.

We also read Life After Life (1975) by Dr Raymond Moody.  Those two books did more to form my faith than any CCD class I had to sit through! For that reason I’ve read countless similar books since, some of which are in the room where I sit right now. 

 

I still remember a bunch of stuff from Mr Rust’s class including the word adamant (or, “a damn ant” if you use the memory tricks).  Lots of cool memories from those days.

The Spinal Surgeon who was without oxygen for 30 minutes and had fixed eyes then making a full recovery was incredible.  She didn't feel any panic and was feeling comfort while dying...

Mine is Apogee (with an Apache sitting on top of a mountain). He did have one the best classes at St. Joe's.

Tim Askey was a cool French teacher, too. He’d bring his two GIANT Newfoundlands in his van out to a park in Clarence where we were doing kegs and other high school kid things on weekends. I stayed in French longer (thru Junior year) because he was a fun teacher. 

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a very specific reason to revive this one.
