I Knew Ms. Casey Through Her Son Wayne. We Were In The Same Grade. Got To Know Her When She Started Teaching At Tiskelwah In The Mid 70’S. While At Wv State, We Used To Go To The Basketball Games Around The State And Even Alabama And Kansas City. She Was A Remarkable Woman Who Was Full Of Happiness And She Was Like A Second Mother To Me. My Condolences To Her Son Wayne And To The Rest Of Family From The Redman’S.
