Miss Breitenbach was my sixth grade teacher in Union, NJ, in the mid 1960s, and was an enormous influence because of her strength, courage, innate curiosity about the world, her enthusiasm to “do” and go and see. Her integrity and unwillingness to accept mediocrity was a gift and model for young minds to know at a young age. I admired her tales of travel and later in life I was unafraid to seek out foreign lands. She brought in buffalo tongue once for us to try, and while many others moaned and gagged, I ate it, feeling brave, and feeling so encouraged to be brave, like her. She even showed up at an end-of-year pool party for the class I gave at my house, borrowed a suit from my mother, and dove in with us. I admired her greatly. I will forever be glad to have known her excellent instruction and exemplary character.

Miss Breitenbach was my 4th grade teacher at Franklin School in Union. She was strict but good and had a sense of humor. Each week we had a spelling list. One week "Breitenbach" was on the list. It was the toughest word--and Lord help you if it wasn't capitalized! I liked her! May she rest in peace!

I taught with Gerry at Central 6 for quite a few years before she retired. Actually our rooms were next door to each other. She was an excellent educator who I am sure made a difference in the lives of many of her students. She taught me a lot about plants as she, Bob Allen and I carpooled to work during the gas shortage in the early 70's. She would comment about plants that were blooming and I had no idea what they were and she would name them all! She was a knowledgeable woman with many varied interests. She lived a full life. My sincerest sympathy to all her loving family members.
