Anthony Pons lit a candle

“I knew Carol way back in the early 80's as we were both subbing for CPS. Eventually I became a regular sub then a teacher at Schurz High School. I convinced Carol to come to Schurz as a regular which she did. She was a great lady and I was glad to have known her R.I.P. Carol”
