Thinking of you Kathryn. Mom told me about Carl this morning as I had been out of town for a wedding. My Dad and Carl were great friends growing up and Dad always spoke highly of him. Carl was an excellent teacher and could explain math so his students could understand and apply the principles. I really enjoyed working with him at the DMH Thrift Shop and loved Carl's sense of humor. Please accept my condolences and remember all those lives Carl touched.

Mr. Brink was my alegbra teacher at EHS from 85-87. I really enjoyed his class. He was a great teacher and made math easy to approach. I haven't spoken with him since then, but it's nice to see how he's affected others. Sorry for your loss.

Mr. Brink was the perfect role model of what a high school teacher
should be like....firm, insightful,
sense of humor, demanding yet leading and chocked full of "class". He put many students out into the world with the proper training.

Mr. Brink was one of my teachers in Centennial Junior High School.This was back in the early 1950s. He was a great teacher, patient, had a good sense of humor and was always available to the students. I was looking thru my old year books, 1952-1954 and found a lot of pictures of a very young Carl Brink and it brought back lots of memories. Even tho I have not had any contact with him since my junior high school days I did not forget him and was sadden to hear of his passing.
