(Miss Joy Veazey) - 2 Apr 1935 - 1 Feb 1977.  Forever 41 years old.  She drove a 1946-1948 turquoise Mercury.  About the most butt-ugly car you could find at that time, but a choice collector's item today.

I went to Jefferson, but earlier. There is a FB group.

Yes, thanks for this link. My twin and I Jack and Jill Fishel graduated BHS 1969. Yes, that’s me 7th from the left, front row. My twin was in a different class. Our year had 3 sets of twins. So to keep us apart, we had split level classes every year. (Fun fact, one of the other sets of twins was Judy and Jill.)

I’ll send this to Jack, see if he can help.

Hi Jill.. Debbie Torres here. Just wanted to say hello from the class of ‘69. 😉

I loved Miss Veazy!

Went to Jefferson K-6 and lived just down the street on sixth. I can remember most of my teachers but my 3rd grade teacher was the old battle axe whose name I’ve blocked from my memory! Mrs. Koch for kindergarten, can’t remember 1st, Miss Leppe 2nd, Mrs. Adams 4th, Miss Steadman 5th (my favorite) and Mrs. Scharf 6th. And a 1969 graduate of BHS. I guess we didn’t have any classes together.
