One parent wrote about Freyda’s talents in helping her daughter overcome a very difficult time:
“ It is very rare to find someone who is able to combine unusually sharp
insight and the ability to communicate this in a way that becomes very useful.
You always manage to bring the focus back to the child – as a child!”

From a 1994 letter from parents of a graduating Lexington High
senior:“You are in large part responsible for who he has become. When things weren’t going well for our son, adults had disappointed him and confusion seemed to be the rule – you believed in him. That has always meant so much to him and to us!”
