I went to Mott for K through 6.
I did not recogize any of the teachers names except Mary Korn. I had her for 4th grade in 1951.
She was a teacher that did not tolerate silliness, but nice withal. Incidently there is an MSNBC contributor, David Korn, who looks very much as Miss Korn did. Each time I see him I think of her.
Mott School has moved to Stokley Ave. just around the corner from where we once lived in a row house on Third St. Lots of my early memories attach to the Centre Street building.

Thanks, Judy Smith and Don Nugent. It's comments such as yours that adds to the historic flavor and also in keeping with the slogan I chose for this site, "Local History with a Personal Touch."
