Debbie Kasowitz Sachs 1975 and her husband Joel Sachs 1973 honored Betty Lou with a gift. Deb shared this lovely sentiment:

I am forever grateful to Betty Lou Blumberg for the joy, passion and intellect she brought to every novel, poem and play that she taught. I credit her for instilling in me my own love of poetry and writing.

As a student, I was often touched by Betty Lou’s kindness, caring, and sensitivity. Even at her busiest, Mrs. Blumberg always found the time and space for checking in with her students. I can still recall sitting with her on the floor of the "new building's" main hallway, her makeshift office, for impromptu and thoughtful discussions.

Most of all, I am indebted to Betty Lou for the example she set as an outstanding educator. Her respect, knowledge, dedication and enthusiasm regarding her subject, students and profession have inspired and informed my own career as an educator of students who are deaf and hard of hearing. I feel quite fortunate that Betty Lou Blumberg has been and continues to be a treasured mentor, role model and friend.
