Mehr greeted us with a big smile, a confident handshake, and a spirited delivery of her MSR story. “I arrived here as a baby,” she chirps, adding that her parents wanted her to have a better education than they had. “They researched good schools,” she continues, “and this one came up.” Another wide grin, then, “They made the right choice.”
Mehr reflects easily and remembers LE 4 with great fondness and clarity. “I still love it,” she says with a wistful look on her face. “Miss Clawson and Miss Sayles—they are awesome. I remember my young self thinking, ‘I don’t want to move anywhere else.’”
