I first met Gale at Westwood Jr. High, in Mr. Clark's History class. Gale was funny and at times (to our delight!) exasperated Mr. Clark. We remained friends throughout the rest of junior high and high school. I loved the twinkle in her eye when she thought of something amusing. She had a wonderful, positively aggressive approach to life. Our world is not as lovely without Gale.
