Bruno Mattei

I, too, have fond memories of Mr. Mattei and Spanish classes at Tottenville High. He had so much energy and seemed to enjoy teaching.

I'll always remember Mr. Mattei as one of my favorite teachers in all my years of schooling. He taught in a no-nonsense fashion yet always with a twinkle in his eye. He loved to have a little fun in class and was at all times a complete gentleman.

Mr. Mattei was a wonderful teacher.
He inspired a love of Spanish (1954)
& I continued to study 3 more years
in college. I have fond memories of all the fun & learning in his class.

When I think of Mr. Mattei I remember the time he danced on a table to a song we had just learned in Spanish class, this was at Tottenville High School circa 1967. He was a fun teacher, someone I will never forget.

He was a man like no other. He will be missed. He filled my childhood with joy and taught me a few things! A lovely man that will not be soon forgotton! He was a blessing in all of our lives. May he rest in peace.
