Mrs. Audrey Mcknight,
I was a student at Thunderbird HS. I took two years of metal shop in the mid 70's. Mr. Mcknight was my shop teacher. I had a good time in his class and still have an aluminum Chiefs head that I poured in the foundry at school, it still sits on my workbench at home. Even though I did not choose a career in metals I think back fondly of my time in his class and the effort he put in to teaching us. I am truly sorry for your loss.
