Was Mrs Day your English teacher at Bradford HS in 1968? Ever wonder what happened to her? I just found this on Wikipedia: Ingeborg Day was an Austrian-American author, best known for the semi-autobiographical erotic novel 9½ Weeks which she published under the pseudonym Elizabeth McNeill, and which was later made into a film starring Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke.[1] Life[edit] Day was born in Graz, Austria, in November, 1940. Her father, Ernest Seiler, was a member of the Nazi S.S. She spent the last two years of the war on her grandmothers farm. In 1957, she went on an exchange program to study at Syracuse University, New York, USA. She met and married a trainee priest, Dennis Day and they moved to Indiana, where she attained a B.A. in German studies from Goshen College, and spent several years teaching in Kenosha, Wisconsin. They had a daughter, Ursula, in 1963, and a son, Mark, who died at the age of seven. Day left her husband and moved to Manhattan with artist Tom Shannon, and became an editor at Ms magazine. It was during this time that the affair happened that is portrayed in 9½ Weeks. In 1978 she published the book 9½ Weeks under a pseudonym.[2] In 1980 she published her memoir Ghost Waltz.[3] In 1991, she married Donald Sweet, a man fourteen years older. They moved to Ashland, Oregon shortly after the wedding. She committed suicide on May 18, 2011, aged seventy.[4] Her infirm husband died four days later.[5]
