August Wendell Knoche

We just had our 60th reunion (Class of `65), and while appreciating all of our classmates who were there; in several chats, @ several tables, we mentioned teachers, from now on, so long ago, and yet, seemingly yesterday, whom we all remembered. Mr.Knoche was one many of us remembered; and each had a fond, appreciative , thankful, or memorable tale to tell, or a dreadful, test, quiz, or exam moment ...... I have always held Mr. Knoche to be a man, teacher I respected, and learned from while @...

A wonderful, insightful, and memorable man. His instruction, and my memories of him, have stayed with me since my days at THS. He was more than a Math teacher, he was a part of a legacy, and a lasting part of my life. Thank You , Mr. Knoche.

Mr. Knoche was one of my favorite math teachers. He was patient in working with the students and very effective in explaining the principles behind mathematical concepts. I could tell by his example and his attitude that he was a good person and a caring individual.

My heart goes out to you all for the passing of Mr. Knocke. What a stoic gentleman he was!!. I'm sure that all of you will truly miss him. He raised such a nice family. May God Bless all of you!! Maebell Beard

My brother,Neil ('67) and I remember Gus as our scorekeeper in baseball and basketball at THS. Always good with numbers. Thanks.
