NO ONLINE PRINT SALES__Judy Mays started teaching in 1969 at Mendenhall Middle. She never left. She remained for 48 years, teaching everything except music. In doing so, she taught three generations of Greensboro and became a beloved fixture at Mendenhall, a woman who did everything from take tickets to games to giving bagged treats bus drivers.
This month, she retired. After six months, she expects she'll start volunteering at Mendenhall because she does love the school and does love the kids. But on the eve of her 70th birthday, she decided it was time. Parents and teachers and students hated to see her go. They do love her.
