OMG Marie. Mrs. Ells working until the early 80s? My gosh how old was she then. I always thought she was old when we had her for home ec. Weeew! Vickie rolison From: Marie Reh Sent: Monday, April 07, 2014 9:12 AM To: msb-alumni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [msb-alumni] Re: Home Economics The home Ec teacher's name that was at Msb Was Mrs. Brewer. I cannot remember her first name. She was there after Miss Krieger Retired. I cannot remember if she worked one or two years. Mrs. Ells started in the fall of 1968 the beginning of my ninth grade year. Mrs. ells was still working at MSB when I started working there in October, 1978. I cannot remember when she left, maybe when the state of Michigan had that early retirement with a financial incentive in 1984 when many of the staff we knew left MSB.

Being that I came in the fall of 1966, I know I had Ms. Krieger for that year of homeec then we had Mrs. Ells after that. I am sure we had the other teacher too although not for long. Didn't you say her name was Ms. Brooks?

Miss Krieger retired after the 1965-1966 school year, and Mrs. Ells Started in the fall of 1968. Mrs. Brewer was in there between Miss Krieger and Mrs. Ells. And come to think of it she may have been there for only a year.

I could be wrong though. It won't be the first time that I've been known to be wrong lol hahahaha. But that's okay. Somebody taught it, that's for sure. Lol. I wasn't in the class, so I don't know, but hey I tried hahahaha. I know Mrs. Krieger and Mrs. Ells taught homeec and I liked them both. They were both super nice to me. I really loved Mrs. Krieger though. She was the best.

I don't recall him teaching chair caning; he was piano tuning instructor. I think you're thinking of Mr. R Rosnowski, something like that spelling.
