New Video: Miss Janie Kilgore (21 min.)

When women get together and talk about their school days they usually pull at least one real life, often painful, coming-of-age story from their memories. It is usually from when they were 12 - 15 years old in Junior High School. This is a story I have never told on myself - although some of my friends still remember it - but lately I recognized what Miss Janie Kilgore, a teacher at Piedmont Junior High School, did for me when a "sock hop" turned into a very humiliating experience. Maybe you once needed someone like Miss Janie Kilgore to come to your rescue in a burgundy red Chevrolet coupe. Thank you, Miss Kilgore.
