Hilda Goodling was a passionate teacher for over fifty years and still making a difference in the classroom when she lost her battle with cancer. Her gift was that she made a difference in all student's journeys regardless of abilities; from York suburban to Baltimore city she changed lives daily.
Bill Goodling was also a teacher, guidance counselor, coach and then a member of the US House of Representatives. Known as the "father of education", chairman of the Education Committee, he changed thousands of lives with the Even Start Family Literacy Program. This program had parents and students attend school together so that they cycle of illiteracy in their family was finally broken. Through this program parents could get jobs, actually help their kids with homework and have opportunities that most of us take for granted.
