My name is Don Fisher. Mrs Rannebarger taught me Espanol at Hartley . Her son, Tom, graduated in my class in 1969. Tom was one of the first I met at Hartley and he invited me to his farm for a hayride party that fall of my first couple months at Hartley. He and his mom were instrumental in my adjusting to a new school. I am sorry for your loss.
