Q: What will you never forget about Jefferson?
A: As one of Jefferson's former teachers at Richmond Avenue School, I will never forget a vocabulary lesson we had that was part of our reading lesson. We had been studying the suffix, er meaning one who (as in painter=one who paints). One vocabulary word from the story was liver. I asked Jefferson what he thought the word liver meant and he replied, "If a person gets sick but they do not die and they live they are a liver". According to the suffix we were studying, technically, he was not wrong. In his way, Jefferson was applying what he had learned. He was 9 years old.
