#107: My favorite teachers

If this was an assignment: WRITE A LIST OF YOUR 20 FAVORITE TEACHERS THAT YOU HAVE NEVER PHYSICALLY MET

This would be my answer (today anyway):

1. Jesus
2. Paul
3. Leonardo da Vinci
4. William Stafford
5. E.B. White
6. C.S. Lewis
7. Benjamin Franklin
8. Neil Gaiman
9. Nicholas Kristof
10. Ira Glass
11. George Saunders
12. Jon Stewart
13. Stephen Colbert
14. Malcolm Gladwell
15. John Green
16. Brene Brown
17. Jimmy Carter
18. Ernest Hemingway
19. Anne Lamott
20. Annie Dillard

Looking at this list, I hear a lot of people whispering in my ear for inclusion, and I want to rearrange the order.  It’s fascinating how this list changes over time, even daily. Who would be on your list?
