She was my teacher in 1982 and my brother's teacher in 1976. I still have great memories of her to this day. What a wonderful lady who was a great teacher too. She was the 1st person to tell me I was a talented writer and convinced the principal to let me read a story I wrote to the whole school over the loudspeaker. I was just 7 years old but she made me feel so special and I will never forget her.
