To Andy Ligon, Carmen Glenn leaves a bus driver’s handbook in hopes that he will use it for the protection of the riders. To Alex West- brook and Bill Goudelock, she leaves a pin cushion, a wig, and a teddy bear in hopes that they will find these useful substitutes for her during classes next year. To Cynthia Lever, Linda Faile, and Mark Gustafson, Carmen leaves her bubbling personality and charm and her ability to talk people’s ears off.
