I send my sympathy to John Hodge's family. I enjoyed working with Bart and Greg at Riverdale. John and I first got together when he was coaching debate at Lascassas and I at Kittrell. We would have practice debates after school. It was great fun and I always enjoyed seeing him thereafter. I also remember very vividly seeing Bart, Greg, Tammy and their mother, all dressed in their finest, after church on Sunday at a local restaurant.
