Susan Stone-Levine 1980

Betty Lou is the kind of person and teacher that stays with you for a lifetime. Her warmth and dedication rarely exists in teaching anymore. The two most important things she taught me that are with me today are: 1) Never use the word "it"—describe what you are talking about in detail! 2) Read all papers backwards and out of context in order to correct each and every sentence. I have taught that to all my children and invoked Betty Lou! They have all met her by now and understand the rules. Personally, Betty Lou knew my father which is a connection that was special as well, and I know both of her girls. My heart smiles when I see her, and I am thankful I had a teacher and mentor like Betty Lou in my life.
