Miss Walker was my 5th grade teacher at DuBois Grade School. I learned a lot from her and we always had fun learning from her. She was a very special person.

Miss Walker was my 5th grade teacher at Dubois Grade School in 1950. I remember her as a good teacher who taught us by having us do a lot of interesting, fun projects in addition to the usual three Rs. We had a good class!

Ms. Walker was MY teacher at Dubois. She was a great teacher and I learned a lot from her. This is sad news. I saw her at the 100th anniversary event.
