Teachers, Teachers and More

 I was over at 

Liz's blog this morning (Sat) 

Laws of Gravity

when the thoughts of blogging about

schools and teachers.

I was lucky to be able to 

attend schools in the area I 

lived in.  

 

First grade was in

Donelson TN.

From there we moved to the

childhood home I bought in 2020,

in Hermitage.

I attended 2nd thru 6th grade in 

this school.

That was when elementary schools covered

1st to 6th.

By the time my kids went

to school here, I owned a home

in the same subdivision. 

I had a teach there, 5th grade I think,

Mrs. Legion.

My daughter had Mrs. Legion when she

went to school here and if I remember

correctly, Cory had Mrs. Legion also.

As my kids grew and moved

on in schools. They ended up having more

and more of my old teachers.

When Amber was in 7th and 8th, and 

she was bused

to downtown. I took off work at

lunch one day (I worked in town) and 

went to have lunch with Amber.

Standing in line I saw a man, I asked

Amber who he was. and she said, 

the principal. I laughed and said, yep, 

he was my homeroom teach at 

DuPont Jr., (now DuPont Hadley)

Mr. Hemphill.

Next, Amber went to DuPont Senior

 (which is now DuPont Tyler Middle).

She had a teach there that 

I had at another school.

Cory did not have as many

teachers that I had but he did

have one that was a student

a couple years under me in

school and 

when he went to Andrew

Jackson Ele. his PE teacher

and I graduated together!

I always warned me kids to

be on their best behavior cause

they never knew who was around

that I knew!!

Hermitage is not a small area,

but it used to be very close knit.

People tend to stay around.

I lived in that area from 

5 yrs to 64.

Wow, this pic really turned.

The drape I was wearing 

was actually blue and

that is not my skin color.

That was my version of 

the Farrah Fawcett hair cut

back in the late 70s!

Speaking of schools, do you still 

have your annuals or now they

are called year books?

I have 9th to 12th.

I did not get 7th and 8th.

My senior annual.

Painted and designed by

someone I graduated with.

See the drape was blue!

Oh my, don't you just 

love looking back?

Or better yet, reading what

was wrote in that 

book?
