Today I called the teacher that I had from Dec 1939 to May 1946 when I graduated from 8th grade.Her name is Lucy Monahan Hartley. She had graduated from High School the previous May and taught all 8 grades in the typical one-room red brick schoolhouse. She will be 90 years old this coming Jan 18 and sounded as lively as I remember her. We had about 20 minutes of talk and reminiscing about those long past days. I took the opportunity to tell her how important the education I got from her had been all my life. It's amazing how easily memories from 70 years ago come back, especially when they are so pleasant. Thanks Miss Lucy ,and may you have many more years of joy!
