Miss Kappahan was an inspirational teacher who sparked an interest in sewing and cooking which I have maintained in the 47 years since I was in her class at Bethel High School.

Dear Miss Kapphan,
Before Bethel, there was Kapowsin High School, and I was one of your students back then. What a long career! You were one of the dedicated teachers, as it sure wasn't the good pay that the job offered. Thank you for caring.
