I recently came across my brother Tom's class picture of his kindergarten year with Miss Fletcher.  I counted fifty-two students in his class!!  Can any teacher in today's classrooms match that?  And that was without a teacher's aide of any sort.

I think that was the morning and afternoon kindergarten classes together for one photo. But Miss Fletcher was a wonderful teacher, no matter how many were in her classes!

No, that would have been just one class. After afternoon kindergarten she went to work at the public library.

Wow. That's a huge class. I figured she went to work at the library after school.

Thank you for writing about Miss Fletcher and her mother.  This was all new to me what you wrote and very interesting.  She and her mother were very good ladies and sure did good for the community for for the children of the area.  So good to hear these things.  Thank you for posting Ed.

I was so fortunate to be neighbors with Miss Fletcher in my "growing-up" years.  She and her mother baked the best cookies.  Mother Fletcher was up in years at that time.  Us kids would come to the back door quite often and knock knowing that mother Fletcher would bring out the Gingerbread cookies.  They were always complete with the eyes, nose, mouth and buttons.  Certainly a cherished memory that comes back to me today.

Besides having Miss Fletcher as our teacher, one of the benefits of being in her kindergarten class was her mother's cookies. I've always remembered those cookies.

Miss Fletcher is among my fondest Olney memories.

Sharon, I think I missed out by not living on your street when I was a kid.  I think you had too much fun going to Miss Fletcher's house and visiting her mother and eating her cookies! :)

The clouds parted and the moon golden on black

with an aura haze surrounded in prisms like a rainbow.

Venus no longer hanging from the moon

planet star is more distant this day of the month.

The clouds close in and cover the moon.

The rain comes.

I believe Bradley Richardson still co-holds the high jump record in Illinois. He broke every basketball record at East Richland High School. He was inducted into the Illinois Basketball Hall of Fame and in high school was an honor student and made "A"s all his life. I want to nominate him for Lifetime Achievment Award.

Brad Richardson was also freshman class president.

Dear friends,

We solved a little mystery.  An esteemed (non-Tiger) colleague from another city used my login to nominate me for the 2018 lifetime achievement award.  The other nominee is far more qualified,  I don't seek respect nor honor and I am unavailable the last of September, so I hope everyone can kindly remove my name from consideration.  No disrespect for the award is ever intended.  Living is its own reward.

Go Tigers!
