I just learned of Mrs. Heller's death. She was my English teacher when I started at Easton Area High School in 1965. I didn't know it at the time, but she had only been there a short time then.

Wade, We met once when your mom lived at The Museum Towers in Phila. I had the pleasure of working with her for years as a physical trainer. She was extraordinary on so many levels and I think about her often. She was an absolute joy spending time with and I miss her. I'm so sorry for your loss. Robin

Sometimes a teacher can literally change your life. Because of Janet Heller I became interested in theatre - a lifelong gift that I appreciate nearly every day of my life. One of my fondest memories is of Ms. Heller coming to see me in a professional production about 10 years after I graduated from EAHS. I will never ever forget that. She was an inspiration to many, many people and I am so glad she was my teacher and mentor.
