I too remember Mrs. Bachman as one of my P.E. teachers. I went to HHS from 1960-64. My deepest sympathy to her family during this time.

Mrs. Bachman was one of my favorite PE teachers at Hawthorne (class of 67). I'm so happy to see that she lived a long and wonderful life. My condolences to her family, I'm sure she will be missed....she was special.
