Guest Book

I have very vivid memories of Mrs. Bishop-Sims from the time when I was a student at Lane Elementary School. You see, she was the music and speech arts teacher at Lane from the time I entered there in the fourth grade thru the seventh; I skipped the eighth and entered Ullman High School as a freshman.Lane Elementary was a cesspool of child sexual, psychological and physical abuse and humiliation. Mrs. Bishop-Sims' claim to fame was that she was particularly adept at beating kids with a kind of adroitness that even terrified adults. She seemed to enjoy her reputation and she fostered it. I,as well as other students, never learned much from Mrs. Bishop- Sims other than fear. From the predatory principal on down(or up, whichever the way you choose to view it) most of the adults at Lane School were a horror. This and much more is my memory of Mrs. Bishop-Sims. I, too, pray that Mrs. Bishop-Sims is resting peacifully in the arms of our Lord and Savior. I would not want her to spend even a hint of the kind of hell in eternity that she and her co-workers put the children of Lane Elementary School through!!
