I remember Moina in 8th grade at Avondale Elementary School. I had just moved to Atlanta and did not know any one. She was, so kind, and helpful to me. I think she knew how scared I was. She took me under her wing for a few days. I have never fogotten that. Of course, we saw each other through the years in high school, too.Her brother, Clarence, told me she loved to write poems, too.
