Teachers, Teachers and More
I was over at
Liz's blog this morning (Sat)
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!

Ours daughter went to schools where her father and I taught. She would have preferred not to have had that experience!
