    I had the privilege and pleasure of working with Debbie at Booker T. Washington Middle School. She had the greatest sense of humor and if you needed a pick-me-up, you could rely on her to brighten your day. She had a great relationship with her students and instilled in them the love of science and particularly marine science. She will be missed!
