Mr. Lattimore taught Fiorella precision and order. Looking back, Fio thinks he was probably diagnosibly obsessive, but, since he taught math at a junior high school, it worked for him--and for Fiorella. She has no trouble balancing a checkbook or adding up business expenses because she writes the numbers down clearly and keeps the columns straight and distinct. And she tries to live her life that way too--precise and in the right order.
John Lattimore was a little man, maybe about five-three, so small he had to buy his clothes from the boys' department, but he commanded tremendous respect from the students, mainly because he was so strict and--well--precise and well-ordered.
