I grew up with her kids (still stay in touch with her daughter) and she is still kicking and still beautiful. Her husband was my junior high school principal, sadly he passed last year. Dang, I started first grade 51 years ago. Time sure does fly!
I grew up in a small backwoods town. The principal and the teachers, got passed down to my siblings also. That meant that they knew my parents well. In fact they had them on speed dial.
Many believe that our education systen started to fail when they took prayer out of the schools. I agree. Once children no longer had to pray that their parents didn't find out they had gotten the strap at school, everything started going to Hell in a hand basket.
