I don’t know if this is the same linda horner that taught at north tama, but if it is i was one of her students. i graduated in 1995 and never got the chance to tell her how much of a difference she made in my life. i wanted to be like her and started college off to be a band director. i never accomplished that dream but music has remained a big part of my life. i have a great appreciation for it and my middle child plays trumpet like i did. i push her because thats what ms horner did to me. she taught me about more than just the notes on a page. to this day i am still very critical when i hear north tama high band playing and i hear someone out of tune or not marching with knees up. if i had known about her death i would have been there but i don’t think anyone else knows how she affected my life. i’m sorry for your loss and i hope you find some comfort knowing how much she influenced me.
Thank you for the very kind tribute to my sister. She would be proud of your comments and how you have passed-on her teachings to your children. Bless you.
