To a beloved teacher and friend thank you for all your year of support and guidance. You along will many of the other teachers at Hurden-Looker School made those nine years some of the best times of my life. You made it easy for me to maintain my mainstream education even before mainstreaming was the norm for children with disabilities. I will always remember you in my heart.
