Ms. Condon was one of my teachers at St. Mark's High School in the 60's. She was a good teacher and a great human being.

My mom worked at the library at the Missouri History Museum, and I volunteered in the education department's summer programs in the early 1980s. I spent most of my volunteering time with Yvonne, and she frequently took me out to lunch. I have fond memories of our time together. My condolences to her family.

I attended St. Mark High School. I remember what a great teacher Ms Condon was and how much we enjoyed her classes.

I worked with Yvonne at the Missouri History Museum, and she would come back to visit after she retired. She was one of the nicest (and funniest) people I knew from working there, and I always looked forward to our lively conversations.
