Charlie Sheen

I feel horrible. I haven't said a lot about Charlie Sheen.

But, he has a part in this movie. I hope whoever produces/directs this doesn't mind me taking the wheel on casting.

I sent him a copy of a DVD which I sent Ellen of my mother before she died and let him know I wanted him to play someone if a movie was made. I sent George Clooney a DVD, also.

I got in the mail today, a picture of Charlie. I'm taking it as a sign, this is going to happen. Come "something" or high water, this (a movie) is going to happen.

Charlie is going to play "Dallas Richmond," a nice Assist. Superintendent. "Dallas" was my 2nd cousin's husband. He and my mom were collegues and later he became the Assist. Super. but didn't have any direct involvement with my mother being "put out" as she always said.

She was one of three people to be "put out" as she was--one guy robbed a bank (the guy being a teacher), one guy (again, a teacher) assaulted another teacher, and then, my mom was "put out." Haven't been able to figure out how she was incompetent. She didn't throw chalk at kids or curse in the classroom (and Never did outside the classroom, for that matter). Everyone I talk to and remember running into us seemed to really like her. "To a Special Teacher"---a friend said to me, "Yeah, they only give those to incompetent teachers." She, of course, was being cynical.

There were about two times we ran into people who had been former students who she said she knew did not like her. But, let it be noted, that those that liked her, became fine upstanding citizens, like lawyers, and those that did not, well, didn't become lawyers.

I think we ran into one guy one time who was in her class that last year ( 1/2 of a year) and she said he gave her problems.

I suppose there could be opposition to her greatness but there will always be "To a Special Teacher," which was given to her in 1981, not long before her being "put out."

Charlie has to play "Dallas." He would be perfect. I was thinking about his dad playing my grandfather, if things are taken back that far. I also thought about his dad playing a school official.

I talked to my uncle tonight (Matthew Perry guy), and he was nice enough. Nice. I told him all about my mom's life, if he didn't already know some things, and that I would try to keep on going till this gets done.

And I hope I haven't ruined something somewhere by being so honest all of the time.

Charlie---you have to be "Dallas"
