I taught at Dedham Middle School where I knew Joe Reiss, a friendly, kind man. I recall telling him that I was planning a trip to Brussels, Belgium, where I would stay at a particular hotel. He had stayed at the same hotel when he was in the U.S. Army. Afterwards, we enjoyed talking about Brussels and the hotel. Joe was a great man and a dedicated teacher.
