Mr. DeGraff was my favorite math teacher at Toaz Jr. High in the early 60's. And I recall my parents speaking with him at church, updating him on what I was doing at the time! He was the nicest man and was the kind of teacher who influenced you to become a teacher also! My condolences to your family.
