She was a honored member of the Bear School Ladies Luncheon that was once a month for quite awhile. I will remember her fondly and miss her forever.

This is the moment that planted a seed for a dream I fulfilled 10 years later when I hiked from Georgia to Maine in 1997. I was happy to...

She was my 5th grade teacher. She kept it real, but I learned a lot from her. I holds a very high respect for Mrs. Wood. May you rest in peace
