I was at El Paso High School graduating in 1964. He instilled in me a love of life sciences....as my biology teacher in 1962 as a sophomore. I have forgotten many teachers but not Mr. Cwick ! I loved that class. It didn't hurt that he was young and handsome and had charisma and charm! RIP Mr. Cwick.....you served well.
