“She was the ultimate teacher and a role model for my teaching and counseling career.”
“Dr. Short was my favorite professor back in the late 1960s. Her classes were exciting, from being rewarded for correct answers with candy, to being greeted—often by name—walking across campus. I was in the famous class that was welcomed in Newhouse’s basement auditorium by the unmistakable sounds, smells, and sight of a motorcycle entering and driving down the aisle by none other than Dr. Short. She sure captured our attention!
“A few weeks later, my older brother serving in Vietnam wrote and asked if I knew anything about this ‘crazy’ SU teacher. He’d seen a picture and article about the stunt in the Saigon Times. I was so proud to be her student. She was the ultimate teacher and a role model for my teaching and counseling career.”
