Most famous, and yet most anonymous gym teacher of all time, died.
Leonard Skinner, arguably the most influential high school gym teacher in American popular culture, whose enforcement of a draconian classroom policy against long hair inspired some of his students to name their Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd, has died, The Florida Times-Union reported.
Everyone gets their 15 minutes. But I like this part. I just hope someone says something this nice about me someday:
“They were good, talented, hard-working boys,” Mr. Skinner said. “They worked hard, lived hard and boozed hard.”
