Jean Shepler Miller Fund Elicits Memories and Thanks Jean Shepler Miller, whose career at Foote spanned 37 years (1953-91), had an indefatigable enthusiasm for music that marked many of her students for life. The alumnae/i response to the initial mailing about this fund established in her name was both overwhelming and heartwarming. More than 100 alums contributed a total of $32,615. Many included notes remembering Mrs. Shepler’s spirited teaching and her irrepressible love of music. Their words celebrate the life-long impact of a one-of-a-kind teacher. One wrote, “Mrs. Shepler was the best music teacher, best teacher period! My brother and I still break into choruses of ‘Hallelujah, I’m a Bum’ every now and then. I can’t listen to the ‘Messiah’ without thinking of her and my classmates.” Another added, “She conveyed and shared her excitement, enthusiasm, and love of music so well. I still have my old Fireside Book.” And another told us, “Thirty-five years later, I am still playing viola and violin, singing, doing chamber music, fiddling, and attending the opera at the Met.” This fund provides annual support for the school’s music department, sustaining an important element of the Foote School and honoring a woman whose life work created a life-long love of singing and music in her students. 25
