Mrs Robertson, as I will always remember her, was my teacher in Scio, Oregon in the 50's. Her daughter Elaine, was my classmate. I remember bits and pieces of that year as being fun and the start of finding learning wasn't so bad after all. This was due to the inovative teacher that she was. I offer my condolences to her family, I know they will miss her terribly. They, like me, do have wonderful memories of a very special person.

I just met Marian a few months before her passing. I found her to be quite intriquing. This bright, alert lady was so full of life and I could tell she enjoyed living it. I'm glad I had a chance to meet this dear woman before her passing. She is sure to have left with her family many joyous memories that they can hold on to during this hard time.
