Mrs. Nichols, you was my greatest teacher that I have ever had. You had a huge impact on my life. I hope you still have that large ceramic apple that I gave you back in the 70's. The last time I visited you at the school, you still had it on your desk after all of those years.I love you and I'll treasure my memories of you.You will be missed by so many people.
