I live in North Manchester -- not too far away! I have a favorite restaurant there. So cool you took your students to her homes as I did my students. Favorite, favorite memories!

I bet she'd have been a fun person to talk to in real life.

I enjoyed taking students from Grace College (Winona Lake) on field trips to her home when I taught there for a few years way back in the 80s. This reminds me to visit again on my own sometime soon. . . Thanks, Karla! :-) Millie Samuelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00448444518496748872noreply@blogger.com
