Mr. Dosedel's Daughter-in-Law

Mr. Dosedel, who taught at Lakenheath High School during the 70's (and beyond?) was/is a fantastic teacher.

Ginger Dosedel, daughter-in-law of the esteemed Mr. Dosedel, is person-of-the-week (ABC News, 23 March 2007).

Hats off to Ginger Dosedel who has assembled a cadre of volunteers to sew clothing for injured vets. No matter what you think about the war, this is an effort worth supporting. If you've been trying to figure out what you could do to help returning vets, Ginger's project is a good option.

I am a big fan of Mr. Dosedel. I was lucky enough to have him for biology, and US History too. My only regret is that by the time we got to WWII, it was the end of the school year and we didn't cover it as thoroughly as I would have liked. Even in the 70's, it seemed that Britain was still reeling from the War, with both dramas and comedies about the war on tv.
