Leslie (Despres) Omalley
"Miss Hayes" was my fifth-grade teacher at Pleasant Valley School ('71-'72). She was one of my favorite teachers, as she taught life lessons as well as academics. When I embark on a project, she and my parents come to mind ...they expected one to "give their all", and lived up to their own expectations. She "kept it real"...she even shared that she has a crush on Dave Cowens! She will always be in my heart and mind. God be with you all and may your fond memories sustain you.
