I´ve been trying to find my Kindergarten teacher from Forest Park School, Medford, MA...1960-1961. I´ve waited too long to tell her that she was the most amazing sensitive, fun teacher...who launched my love of learning. I became a teacher. She was the best! Is this Miss Sullivan? Patricia (DelTorto) Putnam, who danced `Tea for Two´ and school assembly, painted black streaked bananas (and that was OK), and fed the turtles!

Condolences to Mrs. Walker's family. I remember, thought I did not have her. She joins my aunt, Rosemary Scavongelli as they are now teaching in Heaven together.

Noralee,
Sorry to hear about your mom's passing during holiday time but know you will find comfort in the good life she lived and legacy she left; also you will find comfort in reading mementos she saved. I wish you strength and courage in this difficult time. Hugs and warm thoughts, Cindy Cummings

Dear David and Noralee,
I remember your mother with fondness from our days on the MHS string committee. She was always so energetic, intelligent and quick witted. Always committed to the two of you and expanded that to care for her students and other kids in the orchestra. I am so sorry for your loss.

Noralee,

From all of your friends and colleagues in the Boston Musicians' Association we send our best to you. I read the interview with your Mother and she sounded like an extraordinary person.
You were lucky to have her as your Mother.

Had Miss Sullivan in 3rd Grade at the Fulton School. She was witty, tough and thoughtful all at the same time. Great teacher!
