I owe this man my love of literature and my ability to write a decent sentence! I took an independent literature class with him my junior and senior years and summer between as I recall to write that darn term paper! I had read and discussed every book needed to prepare for college lit and probably beyond. From War and Peace to For Whom the Bell Tolls, to The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire (the only book I could not get through) to My Antonia. I had not been a strong reader up until that time, and I can't remember the first book he had me read, but it was the right one because I was hooked from that point on and I am still some 45 years later an very active reader. Rest In Peace Mr. Ellertson. "There are better things ahead than any we leave behind." By C. S. Lewis.
