I
was
at
the
funeral
of
my
mother.
She
finally
had
lost
her
long
battle
with
cancer.
I
heard
a
door
open
and
shut
at
the
back
of
the
church.
Quick
footsteps
hurried
along
the
floor.
A
young
man
looked
around
briefly
and
then
sat
next
to
me.
He
folded
his hands and placed them on his lap.
His eyes were filled with tears. He began to
sniffle.
“I’m late,” he
explained, though no explanation was
necessary.
After several
eulogies (
悼词), he asked,
“W
hy do they keep calling Mary by
the name of Margaret?”
“Because, that was her name, Margaret.
Never Mary, no one called her Mary.”
I
whispered.
I
wondered
why
this
person
couldn’t
have
sat
on
the
other
side
of
the
church.
Who was this
stranger anyway?
“Isn’t this the
Lutheran Church?”
“No, the
Lutheran Church is across the street.”
“Oh.”
“I believe
you’re at the wrong funeral, Sir.”
The
seriousness
of
the
occasion
mixed
with
the
realization
of
the
man’s
mistake
burst inside me and came out as
laughter. I cupped my hands over my face, hoping
it
would
not
be
noticed.
Sharp
looks
from
others
only
made
the
situation
seem
funnier.
He was laughing
too, as he glanced around, deciding it was too
late to leave.
“I do believe we’ll be
the talk of the town,” he smiled.
His name was Rick and, since he had
missed his aunt’s funeral, he asked me
out for a cup of coffee. That afternoon
began a lifelong journey for me with this
man who attended the wrong funeral, but
was in the right place. A year after our
meeting,
we
were
married
at
a
country
church.
This
time
we
both
arrived
at
the
same
church,
right on time.

After giving a talk at a high school, I
was asked to pay a visit to a special
student.
An
illness
had
kept
the
boy
home,
but
he
had
expressed
an
interest
in
meeting
me, and it would
mean a great deal to him. I agreed.
During the nine-mile drive to his home,
I found out something about Matthew.
He
had
muscular
dystrophy(
肌肉萎缩症
).
When
he
was
born,
the
doctor
told
his
parents
that he would not live to
see five, and then they were told he would not
make it
to ten. Now he was thirteen. He
wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power
lifter, and I knew about overcoming
obstacles (
障碍
) and going for
my dreams.
I spent over an hour talking
to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask,
“Why
me?”
He
spoke
about
winning
and
succeeding
and
going
for
his
dreams.
Obviously,
he knew what he was talking about. He
didn’t mention that his classmates had
made
fun
of
him
because
he
was
different.
He
just
talked
about
his
hopes
for
the
future,
and
how one day he wanted to lift weight with me.
When
we
finished
talking,
I
went
to
my
briefcase
and
pulled
out
the
first
gold
medal I won and put it around his neck.
I told him he was more of a winner and knew
more about success and overcoming
obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for
a moment, then took it off and handed
it
back to me.
He said, “You
are
a champion.
You earned
that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and
win my own medal, I
will show it to
you.”
Last
summer
I
received
a
letter
from
Matthew’s
parents
telling
me
that
Matthew
had passed away.
They wanted me to have a letter he had written to
me a few days
before:
Dear
Rick,
My mom said I should send you a
thank-you letter for the picture you sent me.
I
also
want
to
let
you
know
that
the
doctors
tell
me
that
I
don’t
have
long
to
live
anymore. But I still
smile as much as I can.
I
told
you
someday
I
was
going
to
the
Olympics
and
win
a
gold
medal.
But
I
know
now
I
will
never
get
to
do
that.
But
I
know
I’m
a
champion,
and
God
knows
that
too.
When I get to Heaven, God will give me
my medal and when you get there, I will show
it to you. Thank you for loving me.

It was the early
1950s,
and I was a member of
the A class at
Armidale High School
in northern New South Wales.
In second and third years we all did
General Maths, and our teacher was Mrs.
Lindsay
—
Clare
Lindsay.
Her
arrival
at
our
classroom
was
always
quick,**Good
morning,
everyone! Small but
energetic, she would drop her things on the
teacher's table,
and
move
immediately
to
the
blackboard,
continuing
the
material
of
the
last
lesson
as though we had all just left the room
for five minutes. Our books would be out,
and we would watch her closely.
I’ve thought a lot about
Clare Lindsay over the y
ears. What was
her special
magic?
There're
two
reasons
and
I
think
they're
necessary
for
all
excellent
teachers.
She loved her subject, and she loved
us,in a patient and objective way. She had no
favorites
that
I
can
remember,
and
she
called
us
all
by
our
first
names
pleasantly.
She had a way of
teaching that I loved.
“Now we could go down this path,
couldn't we? We could argue this, and then
this, but that doesn't work because of
this. No Can Do (NCD)!”She would put a big
cross, and write “NCD” against what she
had put down. “Right! Why not go down
this new path?” And she would show us
that this new way worked. It was fun, and
her love for maths caught on. We all
did well for her, the poor students as well
as
the
skilled.
I've
never
found
maths
difficult,
and
1
put
that
skill
down
to
her.
In
fourth and fifth years, we were divided into the
science and arts streams,
and
Mrs.
Lindsay
taught
us
all
no
longer.
But
as
the
leaving
Certificate
exams
were
of
my
friends
became
nervous
about
how
much
ma
th’s
he
didn't
know.
With
great
courage,
he
went
to
see
Mrs.
Lindsay,
and
asked
if
she
would
help
him
prepare
for his General
Math’s paper. “Of course!”
she said,
and did just that, after
school
，
in her own
time He passed what a good teacher!

Do
you
remember
the
name
of
your
kindergarten
teacher?
I
do.
Her
name
was
Mrs.
White.
I
don’t
remember
much
about
what
we
learned
in
her
class,
but
my
mother
once
told me that we used to write a lot.
And I would bring back what I wrote and she
would look at it and find there were so
many mistakes, but no red corrections, and
always a star. Sometimes even a Good!
This worried my mother, so one day when she
went
to
meet
Mrs.
White
for
one
of
those
Parent-Teacher
meetings,
she
asked
her
why
she never red-penciled
my mistakes in the right spellings of words or
pointed out
grammatical errors.
children
are
just
beginning
to
get
excited
about
using
words,
or
forming
sentences.
I
don't
want
to
damage
that
enthusiasm
with
red
ink.
Spelling
and
grammar
can
wait. The wonder of words won’t.
Later
I
knew
that
if
Mrs.
White
had
used
her
red
pen
often
I
probably
wouldn't
be
telling
you
about
this
now.
I
look
back
now
and
think
she
must
have
been
a
rather
extraordinary
teacher
to
exercise
such
red-pen-restraint
(
限制
).
I
used
to
misspell
a
lot,
and

could
quite
remember

It annoyed my
teacher in high school. If I was going to employ
the word with such
lavishness
(
华丽丰富的语言
) she figured the
least I could do was spell it right.
Eventually the e's and a's settled into
their right hold as much as you mean
sometimes.
And thanks to Mrs. White,
I had no worry about writing what I meant even if
I couldn’t quite spell it out. Because
life isn’t
