Phyllis Hardin:  

Life For 34.5 years I taught in Wayne County, WV. The first 18 years were at East Lynn Elementary and East Lynn Middle Schools. I taught grades 2-4 for 8 years and during the remaining years of my teaching career I taught grades 6-8. I taught reading, writing, spelling, and English. During the last 16 years of my teaching career I was a teacher at Wayne Middle School. I have been retired from teaching going on two years and live in Wayne, WV with my husband, Bill, and our Boston Terrier, Toby. I have a step-son who lives in Michigan with his wife Jeni, and they are expecting their first child - a daughter! Bill retired a year ago, and we have been enjoying the retired life immensely. My plans for retirement have included helping with my mother (who is 88 years old and recovering from a heart-attack and stroke) and working on crafts - crocheting, beading, quilting and even working on writing poetry. I might add that I have joined the "blog" craze. We have a blog so our family and friends can keep up with us through the year! I am also working on scanning family pictures so that I can fix up a "picture album" of the generations past and present for my niece...Expand for more
