Miss Fischer was my teacher for 6th grade in 1971/72. She was one of the best. we had a boy who was dying of leukemia and wanted to go to Puerto Rico before he died. she helped us start a collection so he could go and he did. I am sure Frank Velasquez is with her now. I am truly sorry to hear about her and have fond memories. May God bless her and her family. Marianne Madigan
