I want to express my condolences to the family of Alice Gorowitz. I am a former student of hers, for which I am very grateful. Thirty years have now passed since I was her second-grade student, and I believe she was instrumental in my growth as a person and as a lifelong learner. I have nothing but fond memories of her care, patience, and guidance. I thought about her so often in the years that followed that I even nominated her several times for the national teacher of the year award when I was older. She embodied the best values of what it means to be a teacher and I will always treasure the time I spent in her classroom. My thoughts are with your family.
