Moore Family Linda, I read about your Mom’s passing. It is tough to lose a Mom, I am thinking you guys. Mrs. Moore was one of those rare people that change lives. I was a lost high school kid when I started in her chemistry class in Monte, 1970. Nearing Thanksgiving, I was failing many (or all) of my classes. My folks were uncertain on how to deal with this teenage mess. My Mom went to see Mrs. Moore and they figured out a way to reach me. I can’t remember exactly what they did, too many years since then But it worked. By the end of the semester, I had brought my grade from F up to a B. The story in my other classes was the same, all passing. The spring semester I got an A in chemistry! The change in me wasn’t just in class. Your Mom was producing the senior plays at that time. She convinced a very shy kid to try out for the play. I recall my character spoke just one word But the experience of being in a play, interacting with classmates really helped a sly kid start to come out of his shell. Later, I attended Adams State, majoring in Environmental Chemistry. Taking chemistry from Dr. Watkins, I remember how easy it was compared to your Mom’s class I also had organic chemistry from your Dad, his class was a bit tougher! Over the years I have tried to pass on your Mom’s love of learning, teaching my kids, their friends and many others about science. Our kitchen table and backyard has been the scene of many “experiments”! Steve Getz Monte Vista HS Class of 1973.
