Virginia Jeanine Sanford

"She was the most influential teacher in my life. During my years at Providence Middle School, she taught me better social skills, how to better cope with other people, bullies and life. With a positive and fun tomboyish attitude, she was a teacher any child would be most proud to look up to and be taught by."

- Chris on Mrs. Sanford

"Most Influential Person of my life"

- Chris, in 2017.



Virginia Jeanine Sanford was one of Chris's special ed teachers at Providence Middle School. She was once Teacher of the Year. Chris has utterly failed to learn anything from her, but Mrs. Sanford is notable for being the only teacher that has had any positive influence on him.

Chris and Mrs. Sanford


Mrs. Sanford is the only teacher who Chris has ever singled out as having any sort of positive influence on his life. She instructed him on coping and social skills. As late as 2013 he still remembered her fondly. Indeed, she seems to have read Chris very well and offered him genuine advice (which unsurprisingly went in one ear and out the other). When Chris graduated 8th grade, Mrs. Sanford wrote a personal heartfelt message to Chris which he held onto well into his 20s. It would eerily predict his future mishaps:



In February 2007, Chris recontacted his old middle school teacher, and felt familiar enough to call her "Ginny" or "Virginia". Primarily he was looking for assistance in remembering the names of old classmates for his epic DVD, then under construction. He promised to send her a copy. He also provided her with a capsule version of his life up to that point, including the insanity of his Love Quest, his clash with Mary Lee Walsh, and his hatred of the Jerkops. He gave her the latest news of his efforts at stalking Megan. Finally, he directed her to his website, where she should read the Sub-Episodes to learn more about his titanic struggles. It is not known how Mrs. Sanford responded.

For some strange reason, Chris included Mrs. Sanford in his list of "The Women in my Life" on the CWCipedia, as if she had been a peer or a potential romantic partner. (Is this why he tried to use her first name?) In any case, he deleted her section shortly after creating the page.

On 21 October 2017, Chris posted about her on Facebook, along with a photo of her:
