I was just thinking about Ms. Wells the other day; she was my English teacher at Hirschi High School. I was so fond of her and she made an impression on me that has lasted over the years. Patti Behrle

Mrs. Wells was my sophomore English teacher at Hirschi High. I loved her way of teaching so much that English became my favorite subject. I became her student aid my junior year. She influenced me to become an English teacher too. I hope I was half the teacher she was. I had a lot of respect for her because she showed that same respect to all of her students. May she Rest In Peace and my deepest condolences. Sincerely, Pam Farnsworth Hardisty
