Geocache Description:

This one is dedicated to Mrs. Griffith and her love of Algebra!
Cache is NOT at the listed coordinates.

Mrs. Griffith was my high school math teacher. I had her classes all three years of my high school career and she taught me a lot about life as well as Math. She was the type of teacher that you hope your children have...one that tries to make math fun, willing to do anything to help a child succeed, and in general a wonderful role model at approaching life. She was not only our math teacher but our class advisor and in our senior year, she had a stroke. She taught us so much that year in overcoming adversity and having a great outlook on life. After a long career at Lake High School, she also served on the school board for a time continuing her commitment to kids. This one is for you, Mrs. G!
