Cougs,
Thought you'd like to know that Hallie Smith sent a reply
to our Reunion Invitation. The note from Ms. Smith reads as follows:
Reunion Treasurer,
I don't know how my name came to be included in the list of
high school teachers, but it did, and now I have an invitation to the reunion, and it'sreally an honor for a sixth grade teacher,
and to the person who included my name I say, "Thank You!"
I wish I could attend - so many I would like to see - so many
former sixth graders I would love to see and greet, but it just isn't possible - so with sincere thanks - love and caring.
Hallie Smith
If you'd like to contact her, I'm sure she would be thrilled. Her address is:
Ms. Hallie Smith
4949 Ogletown Stanton Road
Newark, DE. 19713-2068
Thanks,
Linda Londino (Gaylor), '65

Just read the email with the news of Hallie Smith's passing.
She
was an incredible teacher, touching so many lives. Ever since I had her, in the sixth grade, I wanted to become a teacher.
It was because of her and her love for children that I'm teaching today. I wonder how many others were
influenced by her?
