Mr. Lingerfeldt was one of the kindest, godliest men I have ever known. He left a legacy of faith and example for each of us. He was the greatest educator I have ever known. May God bless you during this time.
He was my first principal and his wife, my third grade teacher(class of 1950). He was a man and she a woman,I always remember as gentle,caring people. I saw them off and on over the years and they never forgot me.
