Obituary

Fellow English Teacher Memories

Connie Baer:  In 1973, my first year at GHS, I met Jeanne.  I love the photo of Jeanne and her husband in the obituary; it's exactly how I remember her with her sense of fun and wonderful laugh. 

Jeanne had  Raggedy Ann and  Raggedy Andy flyswatters to wave to keep her students in line. (I often wondered if she ever swatted someone…hmmmm.)  

Dawn Miller: “I remember Jeanne Dorsey (and why do I always want to say her first and last name together) with her blond twist, her southern accent that made everything sound so much better, her persona, a magnet of energy.”
