Roberta Elizabeth Childress (McIntosh) (1969)
Lucilla and I went all the way through school together, starting at Old Esmont School and B.F. Yancey Elem., and then to Jackson P. Burley High for 3 years, and graduating in 1969 from Albemarle High School. We were very good friends from first grade on up. I rembember her being very, very smart, and staying on the honor roll. She was very pleasant and had a very contagious smile.
