Re Zora Zong Gaines. She was my Geometry teacher at Bellaire Senior High Fall '65 - Spring '66. She was great! Got me focused in on achievement in Math, tracked me into the advanced placement Algebra then Calculus. When she talked about being the first woman Geology major at U Texas El Paso in, maybe 1945, I realized how mean spirited some men were, and what descrimination against women was/is. I called her in, maybe 1995, and thanked her for teaching me. She's still listed with a phone #.
