I taught first through third grade, beginning in 1967 and I stayed until I retired in 1970. You have to understand that not only did I enjoy the students, but also the comradery of the staff. I still have friendships with the teachers that I knew at Coolidge. I went to school with Peggy Andersen and we graduated together.Coolidge was wonderful, everybody was enthusiasticMy friends, and I enjoyed the students.I enjoyed the fact that the parents were involved. They cared about what was going on and they respected the teachers.[When Coolidge closed] I had left there by then, I felt sad but there wasn’t anything in the community. There were no students left.Coolidge was my second home, I cried when I left.
