Which Walton County school did Mrs. Pete attend? it says on her facebook that she went to Tallulah Falls Boarding School. I don't recall that school being in Walton County.

Chris, I'm not sure of that. Maybe if you pose the question to her on her Facebook page, she will be able to give you that information. She possibly meant she attended a school as a guest to observe classes, maybe?
