Comments = Mrs. Forester was my Kindergarten Teacher in Kiowa Kansas about 1973. She was always
caring and made school fun for a little person. She did her best to explain why we had to go to school,
when I didn't understand. She was always patient at the end of the day, when I would tell her what I
wanted to grow up and be. Thanks for being my first teacher and a good friend.
