Mrs. Wilson was my third grade teacher at Loge. I´m now 52 and a nurse for over 30 years. I would still think of her from time to time even after all of these years. She was one of my favorite teachers, always smiling and had a gift for connecting with each and every student. My condolences to all of her family.
