: I was really saddened to hear about Miss Olanoff dying. She really was a wonderful music teacher. She also had a great sense of humor. She once asked Jacky Shikira (jack schekira)(sp) how he would say that she wears sun glasses and he answered "Big Mama wears shades." Stunned silence in the room -- and then she simply cracked up. Amazing -- I am a fifty year old school teacher -- and I remember that moment clearly. Great teachers never die -- nor do they fade away. :-)
