Miss Luebeck was my 2nd grade teacher. I still have some Happy Grams signed by her and I remember that she brought Jill H. and I doughnuts for helping her clean out her classroom at year's end. She was always elegant and patient, such a good teacher. I always think of her when I see "Plymouth" written. She kindly informed me it was not pronounced Ply-mouth without embarrassing me in front of the class. Thank you, Miss Luebeck!
