I have fond memories of seeing Mr Stahlberger at Baird Park golf course. I used to carry my clubs to the course from home after school. He'd wave when he saw me. He allowed me to play free golf. Nice man. RIP Mr Stahlberger

John,
Very sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. It seems most of the neighborhood crew has by now experienced the loss of a parent. I clearly recall each time I came down to your house, your Dad was always nice and welcoming to me. I never had him for any classes out at Arlington, but it seems he made some favorable impressions on his students. Stay in touch and let me know if I can do anything....

Mr. Stahlberger was my American History teacher at AHS in 1956. He had a way of making learning fun and interesting. Always looked forward to his class. My condolences to the family. May your many good memories comfort you at this time.
