From Seagraves Ex-Student

Geraldine Shock, Virgie Eddins, Eunice Holt, all gone now; all owed the sort of debt that can't be repaid. They taught from a tradition that is without parallel, and they taught that tradition with love. It is the sea, that for better or worse, we all swim in. Minds need words to grind like grain, hearts need words to speak. Amen
