Me too, smuggling in a dog-eared copy into class to be passed around during an Eng Lit class with a new Eng teacher - of course we were rumbled, and sat back to watch the fun.......
To find we had a teacher who not only liked and read SF, but who opened our eyes (well, some of us) to the breadth of the field, and the quality there was in the genre.

I shall never forget Mr. Lester for making me love literature, and Ray Bradbury for writing a fantastic story.
