I shared many wonderful days with Gina and Walt – most of them sitting around their kitchen table, eating the best food ever (she was the greatest cook) and laughing. Gina fed me my first cheese grits and I have craved them since! She was my friend, my mother-in-law and my inspiration. I shall love her always.
My first year of teaching (1976) was at Richardson Jr. High School, and Mrs. Higgins was the study hall teacher. The way she could handle a cafeteria full of study hall students absolutely amazed me. All it took was a look. I really learned a great deal from her, and not just about teaching. I wanted to be like her when I grew up!
