Jeanne Green Brandenburg-Smith: Aww Mrs Turner...will always remember her saying "Eyes on your books, hands in position, ready type". If you had her, you can hear her saying it, in her own way.

Kevin Wayne Barker: Loved Mrs. Turner! She helped me get my first good paying job with the railroad. She let me come back to school in her class to type, so I could get my speed and accuracy up before going to Baltimore to take the WB tower operators test.
