Bertrams Voldemars Keire

Mr. Keire was my first year German teacher. He was then my senior year CWP instructor. Ill always remember the maps we were required to complete (I still have one in my possession) and his creation of our model UN ( I was the delegate from Yemen). God rest his soul.

I give credit to Mr. Keire for quickly setting me straight when I told him I wasn't going to do the assigned term paper. He was fair, honest and helpful. I've thought of him so often and my condolences to his family. He left a great legacy.

The teacher that I respected the most. He expected the most out of each of his students and he pushed you. However, the thing I appreciate the most is that he taught us to think for yourself and to justify your opinions with facts. His students will miss him.

Thank you Mr. Keire, I quote you often to my kids and grandkids.

I also had Mr. Keire for CWP in 1964. "It was a very good year." He was very serious and had us work hard. I wasn't very aware of where things were in the world until that class. He was truly a great teacher.

He was my homeroom and CWP teacher in 1964. He shaped my thinking of the world then and his teachings hold true today. He will never be forgotten by his students.

In looking back, Mr. Keire was my favorite teacher, from kindergarten through graduation. Never easy, but always supportive, you participated, whether you wanted to or not. His lessons of perseverance and logical thought served me well during 21 years in the U.S. Navy, and afterwards. Fair winds & following seas.

Mr Keire was one of my favorite teachers at the Bay. He was my CWP teacher in 1964. He taught us to think and to question and to stand up for what we believed in.

My favorite memory of Mr. Keire is the country we created, complete with constitution, flag, anthem, legislature, courts and administration. Or, maybe his teaching us "Mamushka, te panamaish?"
