Not sure what to say?

Mrs. Tarpey was one of the best teachers I´ve had! She is to blame for my great love of science. I´ve been a Medical Laboratory Technician for over 30 years and I can totally geek out and still get excited about stuff under the microscope. So thank you Mrs. Tarpey for being a great influence and having such a great influence in my life! 1980 Dale graduate .

She was an amazing teacher with such a brilliant mind. Thankful to have known her. She made learning fun, and she wasn't even my teacher, but my older brother's. She had such an impact and was always teaching, it just came naturally to her. I ran into her at the library a few years ago. I knew she didn't remember me, I didn't expect her to, but she still made me feel as if she did. Prayers for her family. Elizabeth James Dale Class of '98.

Teresa & Richard raised their 3 boys in church along with our 2 boys, Kirk & Todd. We had many fun times on church outings with the whole family and Richard & Bill shared teaching Sunday School classes together along with lots of Spring Break trips from skiing to floating the river. Lots of fun memories. She was always so kind and sweet to Everyone! Prayers for her boys and their family.
