What a wonderful life - she was a true trail blazer. Mrs. Shapiro (as she was known then) was my 4th grade teacher and she was truly inspirational, someone I have never forgotten. She instilled in her students a love of learning and of nature. Whenever her name comes up in a family discussion, we all remember scouring the neighborhood for salamanders, turtles or anything else we thought she would like. I just finished my 42nd year of teaching and she was one of my role models. My condolences to the family. May she rest in peace - I’m sure she is shaking things up in heaven!
