Dorothy Ainsworth (1960)
Mrs. Eaton was my favorite teacher in 6th grade Home-Ec back in 1954. She made each student feel special, and she taught me to cook and sew and was so encouraging and wonderful I remember her well to this day.
I am happy to know that such a good human being lived to 100. She definitely made MY world a better place .
