While perusing the teacher pages I noted you have no pictures of Miss
Ellena Armistead, who was my seventh-grade teacher
at John W. Daniel Elementary (1955-56). She was especially patient
and kind with me. She once stayed after school to check
on my welfare in
the nurse's office after I chased a fly kick ball on the playground. I
watched the ball and collided head first
with the basketball pole,
knocking me unconscious. Maybe she gave me a break on my final grades
because of verifiable brain damage!
She went on to teach history and
geography, plus guidance counselor at NNHS. She was a good teacher and
warm person.
I wonder if any information exists on where she might have gone/is
today.
