I had Mr. Cobbs at Jefferson. He was a very stern but loving man. He loved every child at Jefferson and we knew it. I am glad that God blessed me with a wonderful principal. He will be dearly missed.

I remember Mr Cobbs back when when I was in Jefferson back in the 80's. He was always a kind man. May God watch over you always.
