I will never forget Mr. Bryers, my fifth grade teacher at Fishkill Elementary School. He was a gifted teacher and a warm presence in our school. My sympathy to his family.

To the family--I was sorry to read about the passing of Mr. Bryers. He was my principal at Oak for a few happy years. I remember when we asked him about doing something new, he would say," do it until we are told no." You have my deepest sympathy.

We all have individuals in our life's journey who filled a positive role - and as an impressionable 11-12 year old he formed a special impact on me --- I later in my career became an elected public official and would therefore come in contact with him around the community - including him inviting me to be a judge for his annual speech competition at the school...
