It's been a long time since Boston Trade School, but I often think back to Your ability to Teach, and make it interesting! Your patience helped many of us get through those years!

Mr. Farrenkopf,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the USN during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
