FORMER ASPEN SCHOOL TEACHER VISITS HERE

School days were lived again for Mrs. Neva Willey Lawson, a former school girl, 
and school teacher in Aspen in the "Gay Nineties" when she visited in Aspen for 
several days last week.

Mrs. Lawson retired from school teaching last June after spending 38 years in 
various capacities in the Bakersfield Public Schools the last being Supervising 
Principal of the Fremont School.

Mrs. Lawson (Miss Neva Willey) graduated in 1896 from the Aspen High School and 
then taught school in Aspen until 1900 when she accepted a position in the 
Denver Public Schools.  She remained there for four years and then accepted a 
position in Seattle, Washington, where she remained until 1912 when she went to 
Bakersfield.  She received credit on her California retirement for years taught 
in other states.

Mrs. Lawson is the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Ernest R. Willey.  Mr. 
Willey operated sawmills in the section and worked for many years with Mr. 
Harry Koch, father of Mrs. William R. Shaw.

Mrs. Lawson has moved from Bakersfield to Cayucos, California, where she will 
live with a sister, Mrs. Noxola Willey Key and they will operate a gift shop 
situated on the main coast highway.

Mrs. Lawson spent many happy hours with former school mates and friends during 
her stay here and took back renewed memories of her residence here.
