"I met Ellen Palmer in 1978 as a first year teacher at Zephyrhills Junior High.
We shared the experience of being new mothers, raised our children together,
chaperoned trips, and taught each other's children.
I have been blessed to have her life intertwine with mine. Since the first
time we met, I have always felt like she accepted me as I am. With her
knowledge and guidance, I have been challenged to be a better person, parent,
and teacher.
P.S. Ellen, don't forget the Florida wedding with Hawaiian shirts."
