Mrs. Boezeman

I found out today, that my Third Grade teacher, Mrs. Boezeman
passed away earlier this Spring. I remember her as being a really
good teacher and above all, a very nice lady. I remember her most
for reading Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little House" books to us. We have
copies of the books in our home today and every time I look at them,
I think of Mrs. Boezeman. She will be missed.
