Mr Pod and family, I was so said to learn of Mrs Pod’s passing. The both of you were two of the most influential people in my life! How fortunate I was to have you both as teachers and mentors. I would not be the man I am today without your kindness and support. To this day I speak of my time in psychology class with Mrs Pod and the meaningful memories of my time in the theater at Beaver Local. I am sending all my thoughts and prayers to the family. May your hearts be full off all the beautiful memories you must have and know those memories fill the hearts of every person that were lucky enough to know Mrs Pod.
