To Ms.Hager's family, Ms.Hager was my P.E. teacher at Smith Jr. High in the late 1960's. She expected us to work hard and do our very best. We did that because we respected her and knew she had our best interest at heart. As a teenager I didn't realize she was only 12 years, or so, older than I was! Funny how prospectives change as we grow older. Lauren and Daniel, I'm Heath's mother... wish I had made our connection to Ms.Hager when you were here in Boone. I will keep your family in my prayers.
With sincere sympathy,
