Stars at the crossings
By TIMES STAFF
Published April 19, 2007
This year's three school crossing guards of the year all work at mid-Pinellas schools. At a lunch today, Carol Gee, Iris Ruppel and Antoinette Lakatris, will receive the Maybelle Rollins Bradford Memorial Award. Gee works a crossing at Seminole Middle School. Ruppel works crossings for Starkey and Bardmoor elementaries. Lakatris works a crossing at 68th Street and 70th Avenue for Pinellas Park Middle School. She was instrumental in keeping the situation calm at the school during a recent bomb threat incident. Freda Turner and her husband, the late Thomas Turner, established the award 32 years ago in honor of her mother, Maybelle Rollins Bradford.
