Mrs Brainerd was my kindergarten teacher.
She was very much loved and appreciated. I never forgot her.

Mrs. Brainerd was my first grade teacher at Irving Grade School in Alton. She was my favorite teacher. I have thought of her many times over the years. She touched my life in a very positive way. Her family has my sympathy.
