I met Dina five years ago. I was a student in an English class she taught at Delta college. I loved her energetic and creative presence in the classroom. Dina challenged me to pursue writing that semester, & I was inspired by her encouragement and belief in me. After the semester was over I didn't see Dina until I ran into her in Lakewood Plaza one day. We made plans for lunch and, over time, became friends. Dina was a dear friend and an inspiration to me. She liked my creative ideas, and loved to listen to me share about the things I planned to write and create - and she believed that I would complete them someday (maybe more than even I did). I will miss Dina very much.
