Mrs. Greenage was kind and patient--an outstanding Home Economics Teacher. In seventh grade, we had a lively discussion about whether gingerbread from a box was really gingerbread. And who could forget the cobbler aprons? My Mom wore hers for years. It was a pleasure to have known Mrs. Greenage; my family and I extend to the Greenage family our most sincere condolences.
