Really sorry to hear about Mrs. Rutherford. I really liked her.

Remember...?
The twitching of her lips as she paused after speaking?
Her intermitant adjustments of her bra in class?
The zest for her subject matter?
Telling James Obbenosky that he needed to make an "A" on the final 
exam or he wouldn't be eligible for football the following year? (He 
scored 105, including a question for extra credit; otherwise an "F").
Still remember the 75 counties in Arkansas? Merriwether Lewis? Ben 
Franklin?
History should be "fixed" and the truths "constant", but through the 
years, we have learned things new about those unique individuals who 
helped to found and develop our country. One thing will never 
change... our love, admiration, and respect for Mrs. Rutherford and 
her zeal to share it with us.
