Really truly amazing 12th grade teacher Change the world for the best like in the Heineken novel Stranger in a strange land!! Reached some so many students very intellectually stimulating!! Rest in heaven Mrs. Greene forever!!

We fell out of touch somewhat when we moved back to western Massachusetts, but we recently returned to Rhode Island, and I did speak to Nadine by phone a few...

Dear Bernie and Mar,
