URBANA — As Marie-Ange Andrieux, a high school English teacher visiting from Thionville, France, sat and spoke Monday with Ann Harden in a room at the Urbana Free Library, her mind jumped to a recent trip she made to the Normandy American Cemetery, which serves as a memorial for American soldiers who helped liberate her country during World War II.Harden's late husband, Kermit, helped liberate Thionville before returning to Urbana and eventually becoming the school district's superintendent.'It was a very emotional moment,' Andrieux said.
