My Grandmother is in her 60th year of teaching, mostly in the
Wathena, Kansas area. I am unsure of what the official state or
national record is. I have not had much luck in my research.
Any information you are willing to share, would be greatly
appreciated.
I am also very proud of my grandmother's accomplishments and
would also agree with your lost art point of view. My
grandmother started teaching in a one room school house and
drove a tractor to get there in the winter. That's dedication!
I think we both have reason to be proud of our family!
