Mrs. Everiss taught me sixth grade at Roswell Elementary in 1982-83.. She was funny, strict and just all around wonderful. I still think of her today, as she was my favorite teacher of all time. She did these very involved research projects with students where we picked our own topic. I still remember the thrill of researching and writing about treasure hunting, and how fun she made the class discussions about each student's report. She has a huge impact on my life, and I am truly sorry for the family's loss.
