Think back to your first teacher crush...I'd have to give that award to my music teacher Miss Piercy (who later married and became Mrs. Berg). For TV's Kevin Arnold (of The Wonder Years) it was Miss White (who later married and became Mrs. Heimer). Kevin crushed on her throughout middle school and even became jealous when he overheard his dad talking with her one afternoon after school during play practice. On Kevin's graduation day from ninth grade, he shared a moment with his favorite female teacher...until her water broke. He ultimately drove her to the hospital despite being unlicensed and unfamiliar with driving a manual transmission. Actress Wendel Meldrum played Miss White / Mrs. Heimer during The Wonder Years, but a few years later cemented her status in pop culture. Meldrum appeared as Leslie "The Low Talker" on a Seinfeld episode called "The Puffy Shirt".
Phil Collins, Elton John, and Gloria Estefan dominated Adult Contemporary radio back in the 1980s and '90s, yet have disappeared from modern radio. Seemingly, the only time you ever hear them is at the grocery store or your local CVS. This blog remembers the music, the stories and the quirky characters from my days working in Adult Contemporary radio.
