I spent 4 years (2005 - 2009) at Forest Edge teaching alongside Pauline. She always greeted me with a smile even if her day wasn't going well. During my first or second year at "The Edge", she set up a Friday night field trip to a local park in Great Falls where people set up telescopes to look at the sky and educate those who attend. I still remember her amazement as we looked through one of the telescopes and saw the rings of Saturn for the first time. That was always our conversation from that point forward. She always said that she would like to do that again. Whenever I pass that park (and I do often), I think of Pauline and our time there together. We never made it back there, but I have a feeling that she is seeing things in a whole new light now. My thoughts are with her family in their time of remembrance and grief. Rest easy my friend and colleague. Pauline, tell Gena, Peggy, Sherry, Pat, Judy, and Carole that their legacy lives on in my art room when you see them again. I certainly miss my "Edge" family and I hope to see you all again some day. - Paul
