Not sure what to say?

One of my favorite and most respected teachers who always gave me the push in the right direction.

Class of 1971

"Miss O" is one of my truly indelible memories from my high school years. Her patience, caring, and understanding nature when a student (meaning me) was struggling with an assignment stayed with me as a reference point in my later years of federal employment while mentoring and training young employees. Handley was fortunate to have her, and I was especially fortunate to have been one of her students.

Fond memories of an extraordinary and exceptional lady.

Miss Overcash was my favorite math teacher. She inspired me to achieve more than I thought I could. I'm saddened at her passing.

Very sorry to hear of Dottie's passing. She was a great friend to my mother (Betty Groseclose) and all of us kids years ago. She will be missed very much, especially by my mother.
