On National Teacher Appreciation Day Rep. Persell Remembers His Favorite Teacher


In honor of National Teacher Appreciation Day, State Representative John Persell recalls his favorite teacher—his mother:

“Although I had many wonderful teachers throughout my life, one in particular sticks out—my mother, Ruth Persell. As a music education teacher she was committed to the principles of public education. Recognizing the importance of her work, she instilled a can-do attitude in all of her students, as well as, in me. She was a darn good teacher and a heck of a mom."
