CHARLES E. HENDERSON

Mr. Henderson you were a great headmaster of St. George's. I remember so many good things about the school especially kite flying day. You will be missed!
I was at the school from '76-'80.

So many of my class at MUS have written heart-felt condolences to a great teacher, our Mr. Henderson. I was a student of his so long ago, 1964, but he instilled in me a love of ancient history, particularly Egypt and Mesopotamia. After graduating college, I went on to Columbia University, thinking that I would get a multi-discipline MA and PhD in 17 and 18th century France, but the memories of Mr. Henderson's classes on the ancient world drew me back to the earlier times, and I pursued...

I had Mr. Henderson for 7th grade ancient history back in 1964-65. Although he was a young first year teacher, he was full of enthusiasm and brought the subject alive. Having come from a typical elementary school, his lectures were exciting and eye opening. He helped to awake my life long love of history.

I had Mr. Henderson for Ancient History at MUS in 1964. He was a great communicator, I still remember how he made the 1500 year old Peloponnesian War come alive and how the Spartans brought down Athens. I am sorry to hear of his passing.

To the Henderson family:
I was a 7th grader at Memphis University School in the 1964-1965 academic year which was Mr. henderson's first year teaching at the school. I LOVED his Ancient history class and still have the notebook in which i made notes from his classroom presentations. We learned about the Athenian democracy, the character of Pericles, the marvelous architecture of 5th century B.C. Athens such as the Parthenon, the Greek colonies in Asia Minor(I can still remember him...

I went to St. George's back in the late 70s/early 80s. I had no idea at the time how special the school was, and even now, as an adult working in the educational research field, I still think it's the best school I've ever been around. Mr. Henderson made it special for all of us (Kite Flying Day and Book Character Day were the best! And Field Days. So amazing.). Mr. Henderson was a wonderful human being and the work he did will continue to ripple out for a long, long time. My...

Mr Henderson was a great guy.
His Ancient History class was my favorite class He inspired me to dream and act on those dreams. As a result many years later I took my family to Pompei. The message of Pompei taught my oldest son Jay, don't wait for the last second to leave an area when a disaster is coming. Avoiding hurricane Katrina saved his life.
I owe a lot of sincere thanks for
Mr. Henderson's stimulating inspiration in our study of Ancient History. Those who fail to...

Uncle Bud was always a great role model for me and I truly treasured his visits to San Diego. Charles was one of the few people I ever remember who would keep me engaged in stimulating conversation about ideas while still being able to throw in a joke. I'm so happy I got to know him and spend time with him. I'm also glad that Jessica and Charles had the chance to meet and spend some time together during his last visit.
