When I think back to my high school days, I remember liking all of my teachers, but the ones I remember the most are those that cared enough to really challenge me to reach my fullest potential. Gail was certainly one of those! Math and science were easy for me, but she impressed upon me the importance of being able to communicate that knowledge to others through writing. I am truly thankful for having been her student, and my life has been blessed by her work.
