Our thoughts and prayers to the Crowley family. My siblings and I were students of Mary and Pat Crowley at Spring Valley and at Redding Elementary School in the 1960s and 70s. We appreciate all they have taught us and for setting us on a successful path. Peter Allen Lee, youngest of four Lee children including David, Jonathan, and Rebecca.
