I have fond memories of Mrs. Bilton, she was my kindergarten teacher. And her parents were on my Norwalk Reflector paper route. Some of the kindest people I have ever known. So glad to have known all of them!

Mrs. Bilton was my kindergarten teacher about 63 years ago at Benedict School. I ran into her a couple of times in the past few months and I was amazed that she remembered me and my name! She still had it!
