Happy Birthday Great-Grandma
Birdie was the first and only person to graduate from college (University of Utah) in her family. She always knew she wanted to be a teacher and she taught school for 45 years. She had a reputation for teaching excellence and people would move to her school in order to have her as a teacher. She was married for 3 years and had 2 daughters before losing her husband. Later a German fellow asked her to marry him, but she felt he wouldn't be nice enough to her girls. My grandmother said, "She was a feminist before it was in."
