Growing up with the Cogans in Minneapolis I have many fond memories of Ms. Cogan. She was a very warm person and when I was over at their house she made me feel very much at home. What I remember most was home funny she was, it must have been the east coast wit. I don't know why I remember this but we were about 10 years old and she was showing us some tongue twisters she was using with her students including "rubber baby buggy bumpers". We were laughing so hard we were crying. My thoughts and prayers to all the Cogans and family. You had the great fortune of having a great mother.
