I attended San Pablo elementary from 1956-61(1st-6th gr.) My first grade teacher was Ms. List who was special to me since she persuaded my parents to give me art lessons with Mimi Fincher(artist in Neptune Beach)
I remember the cake walk,Maypole dance,minuette dance,walking the lunch detention line in Mrs. Johnsons third grade class(we all walked it at least once during the year),planting a pine tree in Green Cove Springs,walking down Seagate Ave. to school everyday,watching Mrs.Kapp(6th gr.) drag a student by the ear to the principals office ,racing to the fence in PE to win a plastic charm and in art class painting a cart full of spring flowers..
I remember being friends with Becki King,Chris Proctor and Susan Cook.
To this day I have used my art abilities as a public art teacher and continue with pastel paintings. My teachers at San Pablo had a great influence in my art education career and my life. I am grateful and blessed for such caring and encouraging individuals.
