Earlier today

I'm quite sure Mr. Coffield taught us history and social studies in West Carrollton Junior High in the mid-late '60's. I think we all were able to relate to him because of his relative youth and great personality. He remains one of my favorite teachers, which is a pretty small club! Condolences to the family.
