I have wonderful memories of Joyce Crowe when she taught us and look back on my education in the CP system and am fortunate to have wonderful memories of an excellent teaching staff and system there. I know many of my fellow classmates feel the same way and I tried to be as good as her when I taught too. God Bless. Vaughn Rice
