I Had The Pleasure Of Being Taught By Mrs. Longacre When I Was In The 8Th Grade At Webster Springs Elementary School. I Also Was Blessed To Have Taught With Her One Year At That Same School, Which Had Moved To Hotel Bottom. She Was A Wonderful Lady. Praying The Lord’S Comfort And Peace For Her Family And Friends.
