Her instruction in notehand- a type of shorthand-was really a life-saver in college. I never forget the typing tests when ever error cost you a forgotten number of words on your per minute record. Great teacher.

She was a great teacher! Loved being in her typing class!
Thomas McGowan (McGowan)
She was a special lady.
She followed strict rules, but she had another side to her that she shared with me on occasion, which I was always grageful for and looked forward to in her class. She could be charming with a strong sense of humor. I'm not sure this was standard proceedure.
