Lisa Ferguson retired after 24 years as an English and Spanish teacher at Moorhead High School. She says her favorite memory was a trip to Spain with students. They visited the Reina Sofia Museum and saw Picasso’s masterpiece Guernica. An American tourist asked her students about the artwork and were impressed by the students' knowledge. The students felt so proud and Lisa was beaming with pride for her wonderful students! In her retirement, Lisa is looking forward to studying birds and native plants in northern Minnesota, traveling and moving to a lake home.
