I can assure you, Mr. Kafalas, that I am not “off base”. You obviously never witnessed the other side of her. You’re lucky. Or, you have either very short, or selective, memory. Again, lucky you. You’re blessed that she never turned you off to the trombone.

I don't know who that previous commentator was, but he/she was way off base. Mrs. E was very friendly, patient, and good-humored. In my four years at WHS, I don't ever recall her getting upset about anything — even the occasional bad performance (or screwup by yours truly!). I ran into her several times on freelance gigs as an adult, and fondly recall her professionalism and musicianship in that setting as well.

OK, I think I'm going to puke. Let me tell you about another side of this person…during my four years at WHS, she was unapproachable, short-tempered, and impatient. She would throw things (her baton) at students — she's lucky she didn't poke out someone's eye. She would yell and scream at the orchestra members over the dumbest things. I can honestly say she turned me off to music for life. Thanks a lot, Jane!

My goodness….what precious words and pictures. I am uplifted and joyous as I “hop” away. I look forward to playing more music, conducting more orchestras and watching the birds in the trees…..Thank you everyone. and special thanks and recognition to Robin Kim-who has changed our life here at WHS. xo Mrs.E
