    Florence and my mom Margaret Caryl became friends in the first or second grade and continued their friendship through the years. One of my favorite photos (and Mom’s) is Mom and Florence at Mom’s 90th birthday party at the Space Needle sitting and laughing together like the little girls of eighty+ years ago. I call it an “antique” little girls picture!

    Mrs Smallwood was such a wonderful teacher. She had such a positive impact on my life and I am sure countless others.
