Don't worry, be happy
Bess
McMillan, who celebrated her 99th birthday Friday, attributes
her long life to enjoying each day and not worrying about
tomorrow.
Known for being Blaine high school’s number one basketball
fan, McMillan also spent 32 years teaching kindergarten
and preschool.
McMillan obtained her teaching certification and went on
to spend two years in Montana before realizing her dream
of coming to Washington. “Going to Washington always
had special meaning for me,” McMillan said, “I
always wanted to get out of Iowa.”
Her decision to come west was influenced by her impression
of Washington teachers that she met at teaching conventions.
