Ms. Symanski was my fourth grade teacher at the Cove School (then known as the Cove Montserrat School), way back in 1970. I have always remembered the books she kept in the back of the room, brown, plastic covered biographies of great men and women--Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Ethan Allen, PT Barnum, John Rockfeller, Thomas Edison and on and on. I loved those books and would read them over and over again. Because of Ms. Symanski, I became an avid reader, and to this day a biography is my book of choice. I am an attorney now, and what ever success I have enjoyed I believe comes from, in large part, the excellent education I received at the Cove School--from Ms. Symanski and my other teachers. May she rest in peace.
