| 1961, we were both in Mrs. Bremer's class |
I remember Mrs. Bremer as very professional looking woman with glasses, who took great pride in her job.
Mrs. Bremer was also brave enough to testify at our trial in July 1961 "The Burgess Case" and describe the
bruising she saw on my sister Faith Burgess and I. I always looked forward to going to school out on the black top highway
which was named Hayden Heights. At least during the week when we went to school their, we didn't have to worry about getting
beaten with boards, hammers or the like!
I was saddened to hear about Mrs. Bremer's death, but as her short obituary describes her, Mrs. Bremer was a no-nonsense
woman who contributed to her local community!
I will always remember Mrs. Bremer, as one remembers anyone who has made an impression on their lives.
