The world has lost the sweetest of souls. If I recall correctly, Val taught at a midwestern high school before joining us at South Side High School. Apparently, that school gave her a feeling of warmth and belonging. I asked Val to play the part of Hotlips Hoolihan in my production of MASH. At the end of the cast party, she approached me to say, it was the first time she felt that same sense of warmth and belonging. Little did she realize how much she made all of us feel those same feelings. We love you, Val.
