Mr. Guy Harvey was a popular Substitute Teacher at Eberhart School in 1975. Everybody loved when we got him as a Sub. I'll always remember how he would start the class. He would put his teeth together and say "Classssss". Would crack me up every time. All the guys loved how his first name was Guy! We had never heard of anyone with "Guy" as a first name. Mr. Harvey did sign my autograph book when I graduated in June of 75. I say Mr. Harvey was the best Sub Eberhart ever had. R.I.P. to a Good Man!!!!

I think about Mr. Harvey every now and then. Random memories of him as my sub or gym teacher at Mark Twain Elementary. What a great, kind, funny man. I'm saddened that he's passed and sorry I found out too late. My condolences are sent to all. Mr. Harvey, I promise to keep "My Father Owns A Grocery Store..." going throughout my life, in your honor.
