Ms. McMurdock was my sixth grade Principal in 1955 at Merritt ES. I will always remember this fine Lady walking into a classroom or across the playground. Some of what she displayed to the children in that day still remains with me today. May you all find some comfort in knowing that she still lives on in some of her students. God Bless.
