Yesterday

Marg and I shared many years at D´Youville
University. A positive fun relationship.
She certainly put her
education to touching so very very
many lives via
her Little Red School House. Had to love her.

Yesterday

Mrs. Kiesel, founder and leader of simply the best childhood early learning center ever, "Little Red Schoolhouse", is survived by thousands of young people and adults, who got their head start in life, faith and education because of her (and her daughters). Our adult children are among thousands that are contributors to a better society because of her. Our condolences to the Kiesel Family.
