Teacher Darlene Ellison, who has taught for 30 years, and custodian Bob Crawford, who has been a cus- todian for 22 years, said they both started with the Huron County board of education. After starting her career in 1978 and working at several schools in the county, Ellison returned to Exeter Public in 1991 and has been there since. Crawford was custodian at South Huron District High School for 18 years before moving to Exeter Public four years ago. Ellison said there were several people who meant the most to her, including the children she taught who are now parents as well as the mentors who came before her. "They made me the person I am." Crawford says "I started with a smile, and I'm leaving with a smile." Saying goodbye — Exeter Public said goodbye to two retiring staff members on June 26, with teacher Darlene Ellison and custodian Bob Crawford both fin- ishing up their careers.
