To The Campagnone Family,

Ralph and I first met in 1960 when I was a student in his history class at MP. We then worked together at MP and Central. He was a metor to me and we eventually received a Master's together at PC. He was a wonderful person who touched many. I will miss him, and I know your family will find it difficult as well.

I like to express my condolences to the Campagnone family. I met Ralph in 1981 at Central High School. He was the Dean of Students and I was a long term substitute in guidance. Ralph took the time to teach me how to do the job the right way. I guess that is why I am a counselor today.
