My mother, Mrs. Alice Y. Hester, taught high school for 42 years, mostly in small rural communities in eastern and western Arkansas.
Pictured here teaching, she loved her students and loved teaching. She was pregnant with me in this old black and white photo. She worked up to the day before I was born.
