I truly loved 4th grade with Mrs. Dowell as my teacher in the 1980s. She was dedicated to her profession, the students and the Superior School District. I came to enjoy public speaking because of her encouragement. I believe EVERYONE learned their multiplication tables in her class, too, I have thought of her from time to time, as she was one of those teachers that stands out in my mind as having a significant influence on my education. My condolences go out to your family.Mound, MN 05/24/2011 10:13 PM
