In memory of Joan Sumner To the editor: Joan Summer was my first grade teacher in 1952- 53. Because of this beau- tiful woman, I couldn’t wait to go to school in the morning, to the point I never looked forward to Saturday. She instilled in me a love for education that has endured and magnified ever since. The memory of that lovely lady, I think all the little boys were smitten by her as I was, tenderly and graciously imparting the fundamentals of learning upon our impressionable souls will never be forgot- ten. So here’s a toast to all the wonderful teachers out there that have enriched our lives, so exemplified by the beautiful life of Joan Hisler Sumner.
