I believe she was one of my colleagues when I taught in elementary school in Phenix City - she was older than I and this was in the mid-70s, when I was first starting out. She was petite and had straight black hair. I hadn't thought about her for many years, but your name triggered a bell. Had not heard the name previously nor since.

Leah, I saw your name and remembered knowing a Lenore Deanhardt. Is she any relative or yours?
