Mrs. Weikel was my first grade teacher I'm going to guess 1973-1974. She had a huge impact on my life and gave me confidence. I still remember how special she made me feel when she'd let me pretend to be the teacher and read to the class or help others in class. My mother dearly loved her and I remember when I was having problems with a teacher in 5th grade, my mother came to talk to Mrs. Weikel and Mrs. Weikel talked to her and comforted her. My mother always told the story about how she sat in the coat area of the classroom with Mrs. Weikel and smoked a cigarette while telling her what was going on. I was sad to find this today, but I'm glad it looked like she lived a long happy life.
