Mrs. G was my teacher at Woodside High School and to be honest my favorite teacher throughout H.S everyone loved spending lunch in her classroom it was the place to be. I have so many great memories, one of them is when she rode with me in the limo the day of my sweet 15. You´ll always going to have a special place in my heart.

Mrs. Geissburger was my teacher at So. City High. She was very encouraging and supportive. Many years later, I would occasionally see her shopping at the Hilldale Mall. I still called her Mrs. Geissburger and she was as warm and gracious as ever.

Mrs. Geissberger was my English teacher at South San Francisco High School in 1969 and 1970. She encouraged me to peruse a higher education and was an incredible role model. Rest In Peace.

Miss Senderov / Mrs. Geisberger was my English teacher at Parkway Junior High School for two years and then at South San Francisco High School for three more years. Without her help I would never have passed the SAT tests with high scores and be accepted into a four year university directly after high school. I worked very hard for her, although I was young and foolish. I received only A´s and B´s in her classes, but I know I could have done better and for this, I sometimes think of her and wish I did more. She was one of the finest teachers. News of her passing saddens me.

She was my Boss's wife in the 1990s., & she sponsored a young guy from Mexico to work with us. They had a couple of really nice kids, David, whom I worked with in his father's company while he was developing his climbing gym in San Mateo & Jennifer who was a confectioner at that time, I seem to recall.
