TRIBUTE FROM THE CLASS OF 1970
The class of 1970 would like to pay tribute to two teachers who had great positive influence on our class as well as many, many others. These teachers are Mrs. Lorena Wright and Mrs. Sandy Heslop. They were dedicated, dependable, caring classroom teachers for a few decades. Not only did they teach us academics, but also life skills and beneficial leisure activities. They supported us in music and sports activities; and modeled how to be good citizens in our Candor community. We sincerely thank you both for all you did.
