I first met Carolyn at the Western Arkansas Co-op in Branch. She taught a week-long workshop on reading. I learned so much from her! She had such a wonderful way of putting people at ease because she really listened and made you believe in yourself. Several years later, after I came to Russellville, it was so nice to reconnect with her-this time as a new principal to the area. She touched the lives of so many people, and I feel very blessed that I was one of them!
