You were my favorite teacher who had such an impact on me. I will always be grateful to you and think of you with immense gratitude. Thank you Ms Battlo for being you. Until we meet again. Rest now Jean, you lived a full life

I had the good fortune to travel with Jean from the first grade through Marshall. She and others of our generation were the recipients of an excellent education and the encouragement to continue to learn. I also had the good fortune to see some of her work off Broadway.
