Mrs. Wilson was my fourth grade teacher in South Amboy Elementary school. I found out she lived two blocks away from me. I asked her if I could visit and she welcomed me into her home on Prospect St. What a beautiful lady. I will never forget her. Teachers do make impressions on children for life...May God Hold you in the Palm of His Hand. You were most inspirational....My condolences to the family
