One of the people I tried to reach but couldn't when writing the piece in today's paper on the late Joanne Slattery was her colleague, Regina Sears. Sears called me back this morning.
"When she would work with her special ed students, she'd always have a smile on her face," Sears said. "She'd always have something good to say to them and she'd always make them feel comfortable, like she was a safe place."
Sears said Slattery was as pleasant and reassuring personally as she was professionally.
"She always had a smile on her face, always something good to say," she said. "With Joanne, the glass was half full, not half empty."
