Condolence From Patty and Del Hedges

Gertrude was one of our favorite teachers. We loved her warmth and caring instruction. I vividly remember falling in love with Literature when she read out loud to the class, "Charlotte's Web". When your son was killed in Vietnam, the entire school mourned for your loss. We will always love Mrs. Porterfield. She is a milestone in our lives.

My condolences to Leonard and family. Getrude was my 5th grade teacher. I know we tried her patience at times but she seemed to have a limitless supply. I can remember she would let us doodle while she read aloud to us. She was a good teacher.
