I was also a student of Miss Morton at Westhampton School. She was a memorable teacher who instilled lifelong lessons.

I had dinner with Miss Morton about five years ago at Westminster-Canterbury. It was a delightful evening. She had taught me English and French in the seventh and eighth grades at Westhampton.

I remember Miss Morton as one of favorite teachers at Westhampton School. She nurtured my love of the English language.
Many years later, I ran into her at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden and she remembered me, even spoke to me first!
