Glyn England: One of the best in the state The just retired custodian made an important difference every single day for the kids at Sparksville Elementary School, just as his counterpart, Mr. Gene Tedder, did at Knifley Grade Center About: A note on Glyn England retirement from schools By Alan W. Reed, former principal Knifley Grade Center As a long-time principal in this county, I had the pleasure of being a guest in Sparksville Grade Center (Glyn's school) many times over the years. I would always comment to Mr. Billy Rogers, Principal, that he and I were blessed with the best custodians in the state - Glyn England at Sparksville Grade Center and Mr. Gene Tedder, custodian at Knifley Grade Center. Those two took more pride in the appearances of their buildings (both inside and out) than anyone else I ever knew. In the summer months both Glyn and Gene would take the time to carefully apply multiple coats of wax to those terazzo floor and believe you me, the results were stunning. I do think that each of them had some secret method for making thirty-five year old floors at Sparksville and Knifley easily exceed military standards! Congratulations, Glyn, for taking incredible pride in your work. I'm sure Mr. Rogers told you many times, but I would also like to remind you of the important difference you made every single day by providing kids at Sparksville Grade Center with a clean, well-kept environment in which to learn. You will be sorely missed in our district.-Alan W. Reed This story was posted on 2009-12-19 05:13:39
