How many of you remember your Kindergarten teacher?
I do,
her name was Mrs. Peck and I remember her like yesterday.
Maybe it's because she was my first teacher, and she was so nice,
not mean like some other teachers I had in elementary school.
She made school fun!
I still remember Mrs Peck as if I were that little 5 year old.
I also Remember that she was "really old" (in my 5 yr old eyes)
As I read her obituary today, Rick and I did the math,
she was only 54 when I had her as a teacher...two years older than I am now.
But she really looked old, with her short permed gray hair!
Flavia Peck
Of course now I know she was YOUNG, very young and she lived another 45 years
before her death on Saturday.
She was 99 years old, 1 month shy of her 100th birthday.
RIP Mrs. Peck, you touch many lives!
Love was her guide and kindness was her creed.

ReplyDeleteYou hit it on the nose mom :)
DeleteThat every teacher should be like Mrs. Peck. I had an especially mean math teacher in junior high, which is likely one of the reasons I really, really, really dislike math.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful tribute you've written to this wonderful woman.
I attended kindergarten for only two weeks in the spring and I cannot remember my teacher's name.
Sadly we remember the bad ones along with the good. I had a few of those bad ones too!
DeleteSounds like a neat lady!
ReplyDeleteI had 2 kindergarten teachers one was older and then i switched classes b/c the one was to large to Mrs Olsen. She threw me a going away party at the end of the year and also sent me a christmas card the first year we lived in Minnesota! I thought that was pretty neat!
