Not sure what to say?

Mrs. Billmaier, Joy, was my Algebra 2 teacher at St Francis in 1972 -73 when I was a Sophomore. She was our chorus teacher for the musical my senior year, No, No, Nanette. She was a wonderful teacher, and a friend, as I would run into her over the years after I became a Math teacher, teaching Algebra 2/trig as she had taught me. These are pictures from St Francis yearbook and musical programs of Joy in the 1970s. May she rest in peace.
