It was of deep sadness to learn of ("Miss K's) passing. Please accept my deepest sympathy to all her family and friends. It was a pleasure to be one of her students at Bullard Havens. She will always be remembered. Sincerly, Arthur W. Martin, II.....class of 1966.

Wow - I've thought of Miss Kaminski (“Ms K” as we called her) very often throughout the years, especially lately helping a cousin with her dress designing studio (History of Costume teacher)! I had the pleasure of speaking with Ms K a few years ago trying to convince her to 'come-up' for our reunion.
She was quite an incredible woman, and did manage to keep us in line. I always thought of her with great fondness and while strong, she was caring and giving. I did not know she was the first female Director… but am not surprised.
I have been planning the past few reunions, in touch with many in our class, and am comfortable speaking for them when I say that Ms K was very well regarded and respected by many in the Class of 1966. We were all disappointed when she couldn’t make it to last years reunion.
My sincere condolences on the passing of your wonderful family member. The world is better that she was here ~

Our condolences go out to Mrs Kaminski's family.
As a class of 83 graduate, I fondly remember Mrs Kaminski's warm but stern ways of keeping us "punks" in line.
She was a strong and positive presence in many of our lives.
Thankfully, death on earth is not permanent, as we will all be together again.
