Sorry to hear about Libby’s passing. We carpooled and taught together at Staunton River Middle School until she retired. Always loved our rides together, she always talked about her family and the milk delivery process.
She was a wonderful science teacher. I learned a lot from her.
I thought of her often after she retired.
Kathy –
