Helen Titter on the Lift Bridge

Canal bridges in the Chesapeake City area – circa 1907 – 1949: Teacher on the Lift Bridge

Posing here on the lift bridge is my remarkable sixth grade teacher, Helen Titter. She was supposed to have been an excellent swimmer. She used to meet a friend at Randalia by swimming all the way down Back Creek with the outgoing tide; she would visit long enough for the tide to change before catching it back home to Chesapeake City. She was a super teacher. I remember her spelling tests every Friday and the way she used to play the piano and have us sing. Every so often she would even check our teeth.
