These programs are made possible through the gener- ous support of Betty Ann Mc- Cullough, who was an edu- cator for the North Gibson School Corporation for more than 40 years, and a strong supporter of education in her community. Along with a num- ber of civic memberships, she was a member of the Gibson County Community Foun- dation Advisory Board. She passed away in 1997.
