Mr. Bronson was my favorite teacher and role model, from the second grade ACS school fair, science teacher, and advisor. He was one man who could show me the path and keep me on it. I am saddened to learn of his passing, but know that if anyone ever deserved a Heavenly reward, it is him.
My condolences to his family; I pray for your strength.

Always "Mr. Bronson" to me, I had him for 8th grade and high school science. He had tremendous patience and was a superb role model. My sympathy goes out to Gail, my classmate, Elaine and the other "Bronson girls."
