Mr. Chapman as we always called him will be so missed. He was such a wonderful history teacher to both of my children and I was fortunate enough to go with both of them on a trip to Europe with Mr. Chapman. As my children always said, he made history a story that went on and on and you remembered it because of the way he taught it and made it all fit together. A real talent in teaching. We will surely miss seeing him every summer at Shindig on the green and hearing about all of his new adventures with his kids and grandchildren. He so loved his family and loved to share these stories. The world was a better place with him in it and he left a wonderful legacy.
