Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. I was a student of Mrs. Banner. She worked hard to make sure her students were top quality in the field of education, that’s why she worked us so hard!
    After I graduated she and I maintained our friendship. When I returned to Jefferson City to visit family, often I would also visit Carolyn and sometimes Dean Thomas, Dean of women students ( Lincoln) would also be there . We talked about everything but education most of the time. Good memories!
    I talked to her nephew in LA and he assured me that she was in good hands! I also talked to her and she invited me to dinner. We all go down our own paths in life and as with many of my relatives and friends, she had those memory problems which creeped right in to her brilliant mind. She’ll fondly be remembered by me!
