“Before we became colleagues in the Watertown Public schools, Kathy and I were teammates on the WHS girls’ varsity basketball team. She was an excellent player and respected captain. I will never forget the game winning shot she made against Waltham, a team that was our rival. My heartfelt condolences go out to her family.”
