Manny Fried was an inspirational teacher! I took his creative writing class at Buffalo State College and learned so much through his generous teaching style! I attended a few of his play readings and ran into him a few times around town. Because I wore a Panama hat, he would always yell out, "Panama," when he saw me. Lots of warm memories of this great man!

To Manny's family,
It was with deep regret that I read of his passing. My first introduction to Manny was at Grover Cleveland HS as a new teacher. He was a friend of a friend in our union and he was introduced to me as a friend of teachers. Over my first few years as a union activist I learned from Manny how to be passionate, fair and unswerving in my actions to better ALL working members of society. I took that same passion and fairness along my 40 years of work in education,...

I took a class from Manny 35 years ago, and remember wonderful moments provided by this inspired, dedicated man. I know there are many more ex students who feel the same way.
