My condolences to the family of Mrs. Haskell. She was my teacher at Carlson School back in the late 60's to early 70's (before I moved to St. Louis). She was a great teacher along with Ms Terry Hammond. I'm so blessed to have her as my teacher. She will be missed. xoxo

My condolences to the Haskell family. Teen was a very special person to so many of us, and we hold you all in our hearts. I plan to find a Barbara Pym book before the day is out and read it, thinking of all the literature I had the pleasure of enjoying with her. Rest in peace, dear friend.
