I realize that part of who I am today was formed in my senior year in Jonathan Pierce's English class. For me, he inspired learning not so much by the assignments, books and tests, which were stimulating and challenging, yet even more by his quiet dignity and personal standard of excellence.
There are a few people in life that leave such a remarkable impression that even 47 years later I feel a connection with friends and family who were blessed to know and work with him.
Our lives are both enriched for his presence in it and saddened for reason of missing him now that he has gone on to a much better Place.
Thank you, Jonathan Pierce, for the deposit of excellence you instilled in me.
Fondly,
Roslyn (Bills) Koelle
