Mr. Burke had a dry sense of humor but was one of the funniest men I've ever encountered. He made learning easy and fun.
It's been almost 40 years since AJHS but it seems like yesterday. Mr. Burke, you will be sorely missed .

Mr Burke was a 1 in a 1,000,000 man, teacher, and mentor. His teaching method was the only one that made me fill an entire three ring binder with notes.
