Barbara Dittmann was part of the rock star Dittman-Bringle innovative kindergarten team at San Pedro Elementary School. Barb was an inspiration to me as a young mom, seeing her teach each child with total respect and understanding of what their strengths and needs were. She made sure all her students had the best start possible in school, and I feel blessed to have experienced her teaching skill and the partnership she had with Neal in the classroom. Bill & family - I'm so sorry for your loss.
