I did not have Mrs. King as a Math teacher but was blessed to have her as a Mother in Law later in life. She was the most wonderful person and what a character. I am a better person today because of her. I am married to her eldest Son, Orville Eldon King who is a graduate of GGHS class of 1964.Scott Hoganson (1969)
Mary Alice was a member of my family, survived by her two sons; Eldon and Bill, my second cousins. She was a special lady in many ways - faithful wife, loving mother and outstanding teacher. Her incredible math mind and great sense of humor lives on through her boys and many grandchildren.
