I remember when Poppop helped me build a small wall. We put in a light fixture and a light switch that turned on the light. The light switch was powered by a electrical wire that had a plug attached to the end so it could be plugged into the wall outlet in the classroom. I was teaching the class how to wire a light switch. I had to teach the class how to do something. I learned how to do this at The Center of arts and technology in Coatsville Pa. I went there half a day and half a day in highschool. I received a A+.

Russ was a mentor and a great source of encouragement and good humor in my early years at Burroughs' GVL (early 80's). I remember him most fondly.
