Janice Raper

I wanted to let you know the fond memories I have of Mrs. Raper. My sister and I had polio and although I had little paralysis, she has been in a wheel chair from age 5. I can't remember the exact years, but my mother and I spend several summers renting rooms on the foundation while my sister had surgeries.
