Our mother was accomplished, brilliant, strong willed, and always well-mannered. After graduating from Towson State Teachers College in 1952, she taught school for Aramco Oil Company in Saudi Arabia. She travelled extensively through the Middle East and Europe. What an incredible experience for a young woman from Hagerstown, Maryland in the early 1950s. In 1966, with 4 small children and the support of Dad, she completed her master’s degree in education. She went on to teach for more than 30 years in Baltimore and Harford County schools. She shaped and influenced countless lives, including our own, with a love of reading and thirst for knowledge. She loved teaching and the library was her passion.
