Miss Garvin was my homeroom teacher in the '62-'63 school year. She was very supportive of my writing and I enjoyed her a lot. Sorry to hear that she has passed on.

Miss Garvin was the best of the best at her profession of teaching. Her influence was so pivotal and positive to so many. She had a profound impact on my life well beyond my years at Creston. May she rest in peace... Cyndi Gray
