The best history teacher I ever had came home one day & found his wife in bed with another woman. He killed them both and then himself.

I had never thought to Google him until your suggestion, PSoTD. He died in 1995. I had one who was both famous and a great educator, big band trumpeter Paul Storti.

As a student you rarely find out about their professional achievements but thanks to the Internet and Google, you can find out about it later. I had a high school journalism teacher - a great guy named Jerome Burg - who ended up developing software for education as well as teaching (which he still does today). So... have you Googled your favorite teachers today?
