Rose Gilbert influenced many of her students. She was my Power reading teacher in 1965, and encouraged me to stretch myself in what I could accomplish. Thank you Mama G. When she arrive at the Pearly Gate, I know The Lord said "well done, good and faithful servant.......you made a difference in a lot of lives." Diane Ellson White Class of Winter 1967
