Mrs. Caroline Lee 6th grade was my very favorite teacher.  She taught the entire class how to knit.  One boy even knitted a sweater, he was an overachiever, lol. 

One cold winter day an 8th grade student came to school with nothing on his head or ears.  His ears were so red and swollen.  Mr. Lee brought him into our classroom and treated his ears and sent him on his way. 

She was an extremely kind lady, as were many of our teachers. She had beautiful white hair.   We were overall good kids who had a thirst for learning and they taught us so much about the 3 R's, about life, and so much about African American History.   I feel so sorry for kids now who are missing out on so much of what those teachers had to offer!
