Mrs. Toomey was my Geometry & Trigonometry teacher at East Syracuse Minoa Highschool in '85 & '86.
She was very good at helping us understand those difficult subjects, especially me, who is not naturally inclined towards mathematics.
If it wasn't for her, I would not have received my Regents Diploma from the State of New York.
But I was not alone, she guided many of us to this special honor, & for this, we are very grateful...
P.S. On the Day of the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion, I went to her for confirmation of this tragedy when another student said it happened. She calmly took me aside, & with sad eyes, broke the news to me gently.
She had a way to handle tough situations gracefully.
