GREENWOOD, Ind. (WISH) - Greenwood teachers who lost a colleague in the Richmond Hill explosion are carrying on a holiday tradition.
Jennifer Longworth, who along with her husband was killed in the Nov. 10 explosion on the south side of Indianapolis, had knitted hats and scarves every year as Christmas gifts for her class at Southwest Elementary School, 24-Hour News 8 news partner the Daily Journal reports .
Now that she's gone, her fellow teachers are taking up the tradition. They are learning to knit, teaching each other to make scarves and hats.
