I had Mr. Selick for Geometry (1970-1971) and Trigonometry (1971-1972). He was an extroardinary, enthusiastic, and humorous teacher. I still remember his stories about fishing for blues. My sincerest condolences to his family. Joe Tringone, Ward Melville Class '73.

My deepest sympathies to Mr. Selick's family. He was a truly gifted teacher and always made us laugh. I will always remember him fondly when I reminisce back to Ward Melville in the 80's.
