Not sure what to say?

Mrs. Alford was simply the best teacher that a student could have. I only wish that my three sons could have experienced the teachings, wisdom and love of the "Lady Alford". Maxwell Calloway, GMA Class of 1965

A neighbor for 20 years. Ms. Alford was a loving, kind and God-fearing woman. Her presence will be missed.

In 1976, I was in Bobby's English Lit class in which we tackled "Moby Dick" and "Jude the Obscure". Even as a youth, I appreciated her mastery of English literature and language.

Bobby was a unique individual. Those of us who knew her well will cherish the memories. Those who were fortunate to have her as a teacher at Woodward Academy have experienced a legend in her time.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
