Dear Gail, Julie & Family, I'll always remember Mr. Makower (I don't think I ever got used to calling him Carl) as he was truly a very special person to me. I knew him in many capacities...as a teacher, yearbook adviser (1983), college adviser, at times even as a quasi-parent and ultimately as a friend into my adulthood. He could be depended on to give his honest opinion, and yet he also knew how to encourage and inspire others to action, to believe in themselves and to strive to do their best. I remember having a conversation with Carl in my senior year and telling him that I wanted to be a computer science major. He looked at me, shook his head, and said, "No, I don't see you behind a computer screen, I see you working with people." Though I attempted to pursue computer science, ultimately, he was right as I am currently a 5th grade teacher. My heartfelt wishes go out to his family at this time. He will be greatly missed as he left the world a better place and an indelible mark on my life as well as that of many others.
