Mr. Houseman was my history teacher in 1967. He instilled in me, a love of American history. He made learning exciting and fun and to this day, I can recite Lafayette's full and complete name. I so wish I had been able to tell him just how important he was to me. Thank you Mr. Houseman, for being the best teacher I ever had. The world could use more people like you.

I knew Wayne as a teacher when I was a junior high student; as a fellow teacher when we both taught at Victor;and as my boss when he became Principal. He was a great guy. I remember running into Wayne at the County Courthouse when he was on his way to Supervisor's meeting. As we spoke, we were surprised as a former student appeared in the hallwaythe young man was in shackles, on his way to a court appearance. It was not going to be a good day for that young man, but he was delighted to see the man that he had had several confrontations with as a student. Wayne had a special connection with so many students. Rest in peace Wayne.
