I had a wonderful and joyous education at Lea school, from 1947 to 1954. I cherish the memories that I have. Now, I am an adjunct professor of reading and writing and esl at St Petersburg College. I look at the testing scores and wish I were there to teach those kids Alas, at 80 years old, with 2 Master's degrees, no school department would hire me. I wish you well with the students. They are my heart.
