Deepest sympathies to the family. I was so fond of Mrs. Klug. She welcomed me as a transfer student and help me navigate the uncharted territory of CM. We discussed our mutual love of poetry and literature. She was always open to talk. She even agreed to play tennis with me in the summer, which was a treat, except for the fact that she beat me! ;-). She also attended my wedding. I will always remember her graciousness and kindness to me. What a profoundly fabulous mentor.

As a member of the CMH Class of 1977, I have fond memories of AP English/Literature classes with Mrs. Klug who was always articulate, challenging, inspirational, and witty ... God bless her!

Mrs. Klug was one of my all time favorite teachers. her passion for creative writing and literature in general has fueled my own simple writing efforts throughout my life. She was a true grace in this world and a joyful spirit! Please accepts my prayers as you grieve her loss.

I am a 1975 graduate of CMH. Mrs. Klug was by far the best teacher I ever had.
