I remember Mr. McIndoe from Mapledale Elementary School, where I attended from (I think) 1958 to 1961. He ran a great school and everyone loved him. I've been so nostalgic for that time, especially in light of today's problems, so I've been looking people up, and he was near the top of the list. I still have my school photos from that time. Sweet memories. My condolences, although belated, for your loss.

Hope to see him on the other side one day!
