To the Krishnan Family,
Having just returned to Ohio from living in Florida, by chance I was glancing through the Youngstown Vindicator to catch up on local news, when I happened to notice a name in the obituary section - Dr. Ahalya Krishnan. This name had a profound affect on me 30 years ago when I was a student at Youngstown State University. I had the honor of taking two courses that were taught by Dr. Krishnan. I will always remember her as being an exceptional professor, as well as very kind and supportive. Her classes were difficult, because she wanted her students to learn as much as possible during the quarters available at that time. I learned more about Psychology, and life in general, from her than I realized at the time. She truly was one of the finest instructors and people I have ever met. She inspired me to work hard and make learning a lifelong endeavor. I'm grateful to have had such a competent, gracious, and influential teacher during my school years - she made me a better person, she made Y.S.U. a better university, and Youngstown a better city. It's people like her that bring the world together through education. My heartfelt condolences to her family.
Sincerely,
David P. Parks
