I have wonderful memories of Yvonne Lewis. I first knew her as the wife of a Millikin colleague (Dean William Lewis); then she was one of my graduate students when I taught extension courses at Sangamon State University. I was amazed at her insights and her understanding of her elementary level students. We became good friends through her years as a teacher. When she retired, I hired her as an adjunct professor at Millikin University. Yvonne was an excellent mentor for Millikin’s student teachers. I was blessed by her friendship, but many elementary school children and many Millikin teacher education students were also blessed by her commitment to their learning and development.
