I taught at Birney School from 1962 to 1968 when I moved to Colorado. I was Audrey Thornton then. I enjoyed working with the students and faculty. One student I remember was Verdine White of Earth, Wind and Fire. I was invited backstage to the "Green" room after one of the concerts in Denver, Colorado. Birney had Assemblies often. There was one teacher that played guitar. I can't remember his name. Others teachers were Mrs. Aguilar, Ms. Foster and many others.
I lived in Colorado for 40 yrs and then moved to Western North Caroline (in the mountains) a town called Sylva. Hope to hear from you.
