Ellen Shull

Last night I went to the HEB at 1604 and Bandera to pick up some groceries for my family and I came across a free magazine located on the rack by the entrance/exit of the pharmacy side of the store called "San Antonio Woman."

After arriving home and putting the groceries away, I looked through the magazine and came across an article entitled "Double Life: Poet/businesswoman Beverly Monestier combines careers on two continents." Reading the article by Paula Allen, I was pleased to read the following"

"...When Monestier was their age, she was at Incarnate Word High School, where English teacher Ellen Shull (now at Palo Alto College) 'did the best thing anybody's ever done for me as a writer. She taught me how to accept criticism of my poems and learn from it.'...."

Congratulations, Ellen, for making such a tremendous positive impact on a fellow student.
