A small correction to the beautiful blog, her mind was sharp as a tack till the end and she died surrounded by the family that loved her. Even the last days of her life she wanted to be involved, "tell me what to do and I'll do it" were some of her last words. RIP I love you Nanny.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723327840869334395.post-66667026977616064852011-08-10T02:22:49.700-06:002011-08-10T02:22:49.700-06:00What a fantastic teacher!!!

She would parade us up to the board constantly, getting us to show what we knew, algebraically, over and over. It was a 3 ring circus, surrounded by the clank of heating pipes and the smell of chalkdust. I still love algebra!<br /><br />Thanks so much for posting this.
