Far away in Dublin, this news opened up memories that are real and felt. Miss Boghasen was simply for me 'the teacher who changed my life!' We were lucky enough to be part of her newly devised core teaching of English and history that gave me the then unknown spur to do a PhD in theatre history go on and teach for 36 years albeit at University level.
She is the one I would have thanked if I won an Oscar (acting my first love-Garrick and all). Thank you for sharing this sad news but she will be remembered forever. Feel free to share my memories.
With fond memories,
Brenna Katz Clarke aka Barbara (class of 1963)

I was one of her first students - the best teacher I ever had. I was fortunate enough to reunite with her about 20 years ago and had a chance to introduce her to my wife over dinner. A beautiful human being who changed my life - my sincere condolences.

My most memorable teacher at HPHS; she was a true inspiration, having been able to see through my often goofy behavior and both recognize and channel my talents. I will miss her.

My condolences to Ms Boghasen's family and friends. She was an inspirational teacher, one of few I remember fondly from HPHS. I hope I am continuing her legacy in my Social Studies classrooms, I like to think I am!
