This was '48 to '51 and she was strongly discouraged from pursuing a teaching career. Years later after our military life settled in Virginia Beach, she finally became an art teacher, teaching hundreds of children for the next 25 years. Some of her colors and designs from college were part of our family's decor too.Mike Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065245846262417519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-75387202112122239742020-04-25T18:40:45.887-04:002020-04-25T18:40:45.887-04:00This attic discovery is an incredible gift!

I can't wait to see what else you find among the attic treasures!Molly's Canopyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01571003887840906315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-43248421691593173362020-04-25T16:44:27.178-04:002020-04-25T16:44:27.178-04:00I agree - the green walls and maroon rug were prob...I agree - the green walls and maroon rug were probably her dream room all those years.

I have kept the dream of a blue, white, & yellow kitchen alive for a long time and hope, one day, to actually have it. And yes - a "C" was a poor grade! I took fashion art in high school and was bothered by the measurements required for the perfect fashion figure as I considered them ridiculous. I followed them as best I could and am glad I took the class as it let me know for sure I didn't want to be a fashion illustrator!La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-74554658462541786172020-04-25T11:55:09.198-04:002020-04-25T11:55:09.198-04:00What a great find.

I bet you had fun looking through it all and coming to know more about your mom than you thought you did! I agree; I would have given her an "A" too for that project. Teachers sometimes can be so subjective with their grading. Your mom was a very talented woman!<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-22045433552411717112020-04-25T11:14:26.371-04:002020-04-25T11:14:26.371-04:00How fun to recover this stash of old school papers...How fun to recover this stash of old school papers from your grandparents' home.
