Ms. Fenander was my typing teacher in high school 28 years ago. To this day I still have the certificate she gave me for being a good typist! That skill always allowed me early on to get a good job while putting myself through college. Ms. Fenander taught us how to sit correctly while typing and all these years later with my bad back her advice has stayed with me. My life is better for having had her be a part of it.
