I worked at MAC with both Shirley and John. I remember John teaching in the next room and he making his points by pounding on the blackboard with his chalk. It sounded like a machine gun to me! Shirley was always there to save me from the wrath of the administrators. Those were good years, and now I want to extend my sincerest sympathy to all the family.

Sorry to hear of Shirley´s passing. All the drivers for her meals on wheels enjoyed their visits with her - even though brief. She was a lovely person.
