2006 MailRe: Old Downey Elementary SchoolFrom Gail Jackson Quarles, December 28, 2006 in reply to James R. Murphy's letter of 16 November 2006. Jim, I only attended "Old" Downey through the fourth grade. The teachers I remember were all African American: Mrs. Leftwich, Mrs. Leonard, Ms. Alexander, Mrs. Cannon, and Mrs. Dennis. I also remember Mr. Aikens, our custodian. They all instilled a sense of pride in their students. It seems odd to see myself as a third-grader
now that I've retired as a teacher of 39 years in the Los Angeles School
District. Sincerely, Replies Jim Hoffman writes: "Gail I recall all of them also and please do not forget Mrs. Hicks." (James Hoffman to Afrolumens Project, 8 January 2007) |
