Events	Mrs. Brown was a legendary Math teacher at Erwin. She taught there for at least 30 years. She would raise her hand in the air and the class would immediately turn silent. She didn't put up with nonsense and she was old-fashioned. We need more teachers like her nowadays. Everyone should be taught Geometry by Inez. She and Burnette Brown were sister-in-laws. Inez lived on a beautiful farm into her '90's and passed away never having children of her own, but touching so many children's lives. Posted in 2012.
