Richard told the story of being a young teacher in upstate New York. He taught fifth grade. One day young Henry -- who was one of twenty children in his family -- was raising hell, so Richard sent him to cool off in the coat closet.
That night, Henry’s mom -- making supper -- got a call from the janitor. “Hello Mrs. Dow,” the janitor said, “Henry’s in the closet still.”
Henry’s in the closet still! Now that’s a line that tells a whole story. A couple of stories, actually.
