I remember Mr. Priest as a fair man. He always thought before he spoke and meant what he said. Thank you for all you taught me when I was in school at Belle, MO.
Sally, My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Mr. Priest will be remembered with fond memories while we were at Russellville High School, but also the Class Reunions that was attended during the years. He was a favorite teacher and sponser. Linda Scrivner Class of 1960
