I met Rosie the first time in Sept.1992 when we first became regular adjuncts at Sinclair Community College, Rosie was in the Department of Communication Arts and I was in History. I was also one of the speech coaches at
Fairmont HIgh School. Rosie was a judge at Fairmont on several occasions and at the Novice tournament and my students appreciated her encouraging comments. Rosie was an excellent professor in every way, especially in Interpersonal Communications.
I thought of Rosie as a friend, and there is no better relationship than friendship.
