I remember Sister Workman (as we used to call her) when her husband was employed at the Stewart Indian High School in Nevada in the 60's. I used to think she was a beautiful woman. I attended the same church with her & her husband, & at that time I remember they only had their first child. I graduated from Stewart in 1969 & later on I was working in Phx & saw her at the Park Central Mall eating w/friends & family. I asked her if she was Sister Workman, she was surprised I remembered her. To "Coach" Workman & family, may God bless you & your family. RIP Sister Workman, you did beautiful work here on earth. I know the Lord has a good reward for you.
