another favorite of many if not all students fron Waterford is a Ms Patty Looman. She retired in 1982 after 35 years of teaching and is now living in Morgantown, West Virginia teaching the Dulcimer a strange but historical musical device that was very popular in the early days and has reached a new level of interest thanks to people like Ms Looman.

I think it would be great if those of you that come across this page would write her and send a Thank You for just being a teacher. So few teachers get the credit they deserve and as a visitor to this web site, I would appreciate you making that little effort. It just may be one of those things you wish you had done along time ago, now is your chance.

Patty Looman
1345 Bitonti St.
Star City, WV 26505
Ph: 304-599-5343

I wouldn’t bother calling since you have to remember that in 35 years she is not going to remember each and every student. Just send her a thank you, or some flowers.
