Margaret Young Berry passed away on November 5, 2006. On her birthday, July 8, a "remembrance of her life" was celebrated with an open house at Kala Point, a home she shared with her husband of 45 years, Gordon Berry. Max Peterson and Craig Kurtz class of 60 and Jinx Vandiver Williams and Paula Monsarrat Steele class of 61 attended.

We were very fortunate to have known and been taught by this very exceptional woman. She was born in Walnut Grove, Mississippi and lived in a pre-Civil War home on a small cotton farm. She attended East Central Junior College from 1943 to 1945 and in 1946 graduated from Mississippi College. At age 19 she was teaching high school in West Point, Mississippi. She was the recipient of a Ford Foundation Fellowship in 1953 to Columbia University where she earned her Master's degree.

She came to JHS in 1959 to open the school and there met Mr. Berry. On August 6, l961 she and Mr. Berry were married and in 1962 they moved to Bremerton, Washington. She became the Director of Federal Projects and Personnel Director of the Bremerton School District and in 1978 she was named Superintendent of the Port Townsend School District. She holds the distinction of being the first female K-12 Superintendent in the State of Washington.

Margaret Young Berry was indeed a remarkable woman and judging from the people who spoke at the open house, it would be difficult to find a person whose life was not better for having know "Miss Young" and she is much loved and leaves a remarkable legacy.
