Mrs. Poulson was a very dear friend of my mother's. I remember her family from the first year we moved to Duchesne. They were the kindest an sweetest people. Ilean has always remained that way to me and my husband. We got cards from her every Christmas. I know that her family looked to her as a great example. I appreciate having known her.Brook

I dearly appreciated Mrs. Poulson. Anything you wanted from the library she would find for you, including obscure quotes from Shakespeare. She was such a positive influence on my life, and I am so very fortunate I was able to serve as her library aide in high school. I continue to use what she taught me!
