Only just noticed this so sorry for the belated condolence. Dr. Legow was one of the very best teachers I ever had the pleasure to learn from and also an inspiration  to me (along with Mr. Grosso and Dr. Sousa). WOHS was blessed with some truly world-class educators.

Mrs. Legow was a truly remarkable teacher, and more.  I still remember her sending a student to the vice principal's office for an "unexcused presence."  Another time, she saw me in the hall with no hall pass and said, "Jonathan Blum, you're disturbing my sense of order."  (In case you didn't know her, I can assure you this was sarcastic.)  Over the subsequent 45+ years, I have often thought of her as I accused other people of disturbing my sense of order.  All jokes aside, she was very much respected for teaching us her insights into literature.

Mrs. Legow was truly a “force of nature” and an inspiring teacher, fondly remembered by many of her students. 

My deepest sympathies Nancy, David and family on the loss of your mom. Treasure your memories. Love, Dianne Huot
