My wife Janet Stough enjoyed her relationship with Jo while working at MHS and then later at Hershey-Derry Township Historical Society.
I enjoyed working with Jo at the society also. We always looked forward to hearing another story from Jo about the school. She was a wealth of information and stories but we always got a chuckle from her tales.
Sorry to have her no longer with us to hear more good information.
Rev. James Stough/ and Janet who died a year ago.

Rest in peace beloved teacher, model human, superb oratory coach, and dedicated educator who touched the lives of countless children.

You taught us so much about proper grammar and love of English literature.

You introduced us to classics as well as to "The Creation of Sam McGee."

But most of all you were such a fine person, comporting yourself with dignity and poise, yet never cold or distant.

Heaven knows what a task you faced, a refined woman...
