I thought that it might be 11 chairing the department, since all of my former English teachers were still there, but Dr. Offutt12 me throughout. He knew when to give me 13 about curriculum, texts and personnel, and when to let me design my own course. In 1997, I needed his advice about leaving DeMatha to become principal at another school.
