    I remember Jean, her mother was my English teacher at Ernest Ward and if she is anything like her mother, it will be a great read, will be anxious to see what she has done

    Oops, got to thinking back and I do remember Mrs. Webb’s daughter, Jean. She was a lot younger than me.

    Mrs. Jean Webb (Feet Of Clay) taught me at Ernest Ward in the 60’s. I don’t remember her having a daughter that would have graduated in 1974.
