Mr. Norman was my American History teacher in 1976-77. He was a tough teacher who expected us to be our best. He had a great sense of humor and was always willing to talk with us. I learned much from this man and am glad to have known him.

Bob will be missed. Attended high school with Bob and we graduated from Greenon the same year. He was a friend to all.

There were so many great teachers at South High School in the 70's, and Mr. Norman was one of them. Everything I know about how government works, I learned from him. To this day, I remain a news and political junkie. Years later as a grown-up adult (sort of) we ran into each other at Wagner Subaru and bonded over our love of Subaru vehicles. I was able to tell him how much he contributed to my overall education. What a wonderful day that was! Blessings and peace to the Norman family.
