Teacher
- Although she focused on students who struggled with reading, she also helped scores of Dutch immigrant children learn to read and speak English. She delighted children-including four generations of nieces and nephews - with stories both from books and from her childhood. Her skill at storytelling never diminished. In her later years, while living at Raybrook Manor, she memorized stories and plays and performed them for her fellow residents. |
