RIP Mrs. Waldrep

Some sad news out of West Texas today. I heard from a classmate that my high school accounting teacher passed away.

Mrs. Waldrep was one of my favorite teachers at Frenship High School. We always had fun in her class, and actually learned a lot, too. She will be missed.

Here's the complete obit from the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal for ye socks who may remember her:
