It is on Crocker Street and she lived upstairs until she bought her home. She was our son Douglas’s teacher, and what a great start in life he had.

I am Amy Ayers Wildman and I knew Mary or Miss Johns first as my first grade teacher (with Douglas Craney) and she was always one of my favorites. I loved her room. Secondly I knew her through community theater in Mazo when I wasa teen and early adult. We had some fun on and off stage.. Now I often would see her in the Piggly Wiggly in Cross Plains and we would chat. She was a lovely woman and I admired her. Hope I can make the Vermont church celebration. My deepest sympathies on her passing.
