People of Jordan: Shirley


Shirley has lived here in Jordan for 49 years. She enjoys how peaceful and quiet it is, with lots of things for people to do. She likes that there aren't any malls or busy streets. She has done many things for the community, and the library.She ran the Fall Festival for 29 years, she's been on the board of Trustees for the library, she was a director at the library for a couple years, and she's the President of the Friends of the Library. She remembers when the library was were the Village Hall is today. For story hour they would move the firetruck out of the Village Hall, put cardboard on the ground and the they'd be ready for story hour. She also taught at Ramsdell Elementary. She taught 2nd grade for a while, and then she taught Kindergarten. She taught school for 26 years, and loved it! She always enjoyed the kids in her class, and missed teaching as soon as she retired. It's always nice to meet people who love teaching! :)
