Mrs. Pollock was a great inspiration to me on how to teach my kids the right way with love and admiration. She was my teacher when King/Robinson was called Jackie Robinson back in the 90s. She also had a special phrase I still remember that went like,"Excusme,Excusme,Excusme," to get the class attention and I will never forget that! Love you Mrs. Pollock and I send my deepest condolences to the Family.
