I am so sorry to just now learn of Carolyn's passing. We worked together educating migrant children and helping their families in Manatee County for many years. We exchanged Christmas cards every year and I will miss the ones she always sent with a picture of a cat.

Ms. Steele was my kindergarten teacher in 1958 at Jessie P. Miller school, fresh out of college at 22. She ran a good, friendly classroom and we all liked her. We will be celebrating our 50th reunion tomorrow and on behalf of many of her students who will be in attendance, our sincerest condolences and a job well-done.
