I had the privilege of being the editor of the arts and entertainment section of the local newspaper and as such rec'd and reviewed the columns Lorna wrote for the paper. Later we were both members of the same women's groups at the university. She was truly a multi-talented and "great" person and you have captured her soul.

I especially love the story of your doing the wrong assignment, but learning from the effort, and then getting extra credit for it. That's the mark of a good teacher.<br /><br />Sadly many art curricula are being cut out as budget-saving measures.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18356998698106275372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-48084268445797031212010-11-27T13:17:43.838-08:002010-11-27T13:17:43.838-08:00Great, great story.

My art teachers in Jr High and High School were my favorites too -- one a hippy and the other an antiques dealer. But, the teacher I think I actually learned teh most from, and who's lessons I remember often was the crotchety old HS English teacher whose class I hated!Kristin Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05955546754675680404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-8917522430724425992010-11-27T10:26:34.913-08:002010-11-27T10:26:34.913-08:00What a beautiful tribute, Terry -- it sounds like ...What a beautiful tribute, Terry -- it sounds like you were lucky to have her, and she was lucky to have you as a student.

Passing that gift along would be the best way of honoring her and her memory.
