I am remiss in this.  I too want to extend our sympathy to your family, Myrna.  I know you came from a very close knit family and I'm sure
your Aunt will be sadly missed.

Thanks, Jo and Fred, she was such a sweet special lady.   The first school she taught was High Hill (out east of Howard).  She was 16 when she taught there.  She and Margaret Gragg were classmates in high school.  We appreciate your thoughfulness.
