Lindsay educator retires

The Vachel Lindsay Association proudly congratulates former Board member Deborah Huffman on the occasion of her retirement as a school teacher at Lanphier High School after more than 30 years of teaching.

Please join us at the Vachel Lindsay Home on Saturday, May 12 at 2:00 (ish) for a party in Deb's honor. Her students will be reading Lindsay poetry and refreshments will be served.

As head of the English Department at Lanphier, Deb has made Vachel Lindsay a vital component of her curriculum. Year after year we have been pleased to see and hear her students recite at the Vachel Lindsay Home. The website these students have developed over the years is one of the best Lindsay resources available online.

In 2003, Deb was named Horace Mann's Springfield's School District Educator of the Year.

From the State Journal-Register:

Carol Votsmier, director of communications for Springfield schools, said judges for the [Educator of the Year] award noted Huffman's ability to inspire students.


"The judges were impressed by the way she was able to motivate high school students, the way that she brings her love of literature into the classroom, and just the overall way she can calmly teach high school students a subject that is sometimes not their favorite," Votsmier said.

Very happy to find this blog. While Normal is only an hour north, the thistle down rarely blows this way. Do you have contact info that I'm missing. I have digitized The Village Magazine (pdf and HTML) and need some folks to "break it" before posting on the web.

In an era when American women were taking a swipe at independence, Muscatine’s Marie Lindsay was making strides.Sportsbook Lindsay was a single mother raising two young children when she opened her own business in downtown Muscatine 43 years ago. This year, as she retires from the successful enterprise she built from the ground up, Lindsay, 89, has some advice for today’s business owners. Identify a need
Lindsay realized Muscatine needed a comprehensive interior design service
online betting as she worked at the Sherwin Williams paint store in downtown Muscatine. Customers were seeking assistance in coordinating their wall coverings with the colors and textures of floor coverings and draperies, and Lindsay began to envision a business that could help people customize those elements to create an elegant, finishing touch.
“A good designer doesn’t cost you money,” march madness said Lindsay. “It saves you money. She fueled that vision with her education in home economics and the strong work-ethic she inherited from her Italian immigrant parents to establish Marie Lindsay Interiors in 1966.
