I didn't know Mrs. Ignash, but I sure was acquainted with her husband! My friends and I were occasionally called into his office for skipping school in the mid 1960's. Even though I had been a headache to him, when I went back to college after a six-year hiatus, he sent me personal letters congratulating me when I made the Dean's list. He kept up on his students long after they had left BAHS. He was devoted to his job, to his wife, and to his roses. I hope Mrs. Ignash joyfully joined him and that they are growing the best roses possible in the afterlife.
