We would like to wish Mrs. Huff a very Happy Birthday on June 11. She certainly earned having a nice, quiet day, huh? Mrs. Huff, it is very doubtful that you remember me, just one of many faces and names passing though your classes over the years, but I certainly remember you, So many of us do. I want to say thank you for giving of yourself and having such a successful career and a wonderful life. A life that has touched so many of us in a very positive manner. I am sure you have influenced many of us. Have a very Happy Birthday and may God richly bless you. Elmer Hester
Can you believe it? Mrs. Huff may soon have a scholarship fund named after her at the University of West Alabama (Livingston). It’s funny! I don’t remember her as being that smart. I mostly remember her as being mean, but I guess she was only mean to those who misbehaved. I really don’t have a lot of memories of that third grade class; other than the fact that her room was the first room inside the front door of the new elementary school building, consequently, it had the fastest exit to the school buses when the final bell rang. It also was across from the snack bar and the restrooms which made it nice indeed. Since it was the front room, it made her class appear as a special VIP class. It is too bad that we didn’t know then that we would be celebrating her 100th birthday now, but then, it seemed to me that she was at least 100 then. How one’s perspective and world view changes as one ages!
She was always nice to me. As far as learning, I assume that I was taught and learned all those things that a third grader need to know in order to pass the class. At the time, that was all that was important. The scholarship fund is nice indeed…
