Miss Florence R. Longstreet

I really don't like posting sad events on my site, but this is one that touches every one that grew up in Groveville. Miss Longstreet was every one's Kindergarten (Reception Grade) and First Grade teacher and I posted an article when she turned 100 and many set her cards and letters.

I just returned from vacation and learned from my friends Linda LeJambre Dorsey and Claire Dwier Zarr, who were also students of Miss Longstreet that she had passed away, she will be missed. She also left us all with good memories of the time spent at Groveville School. She is the first teacher we met in our long career of learning and she will be missed.
