Thank you for being a wonderful Senior Year English Teacher. I never thought I´d finish my research paper, and I did and I didn´t have to take the final exam, and you were one of the very few teachers that saw promise in me and I never forgot it and I, a teacher myself, have used this example in my classroom often. I´m sorry you are no longer with us, but I trust you are in a wonderful and serene place that you deserved for all the good you did during your life.

I am the secretary in the DuPage Extension Office where Eleanor was a Master Gardener for a few years. She was a wonderful lady - always fun to talk with and a very interesting person.
