Minnie Smith wrote a sympathy message

“Because of Mrs. Mckissey, I received my first assignment as an Assistant Principal at Biltmore Elementary School. She did not ask me to go for the interview, she told me to go, and I got the position. Never would have made it without her. I became at Principal for 13 Years. Will forget you NOT!
