All the time I knew Millie from the Stono Ferry Women's Golf, I never realized that she was a Lander graduate as I am also. I was a senior and she a sophomore. I never put the face with Millie Still at Lander. Now I wish for that conversation, but she was a ggreat lady and I am glad I was reacquainted with her. Lander was a great women's college then and had a strong PE program which she carried with her in her profession.

I first remembered Ms. Still (Kennedy) as the hard hitting PE teacher at James Island High School (Camp Road) who could blow that whistle like no other (she also caught me hiding behind the bleachers during track and field).. Now I would like to pay my heart felt respect to Mr. Kennedy and her family. Rest in Peace, you will always be remembered as Ms. Still to all of us who knew you.

I have known Millie for about 40 years and I can't tell you what this Lady meant to me as a teacher at the school I attended and colleague. She took me under her wing and showed me what it meant to be a true educator to young students. She was the most dependable person at the school and it showed by her loyal commitment and endless hours that she spent at the school. I couldn't thank her enough for what she did for me as an educator. She was the epitome of what a PE teacher should be and will be forever remembered at JI. Love you Millie forever

Ms.Still, as I knew her, was a fine coach and teacher. She taught me, my sisters, daughters and nephew. I was signing my nephew up for school and she walked into the main office. She saw me and still called me by my first and last name. She remembered me after 35 years. She was one of those few teachers that make an impact on her students.
