Gordon Blenderman

Mr. Blenderman was a great teacher, and coach, and left an impression on every student. He was "down to earth" and never acted like he was better than anyone. I hope he, and his family, realized what a great man he was and the difference he made with his students. We need more teachers like him.

Twenty five years after leaving Lincoln High School, I found myself working at the White House in Washington, DC. In my job, I often would sit in meetings with some of our nation's top economists. I took great pains to never miss an opportunity to extoll the wisdom of "economist" Gordon Blenderman and would oftentimes muse to these stuffy economists that they would do well to employ a bit of "Blendernomics" in setting our nation's economic policies. (It's true!)

I learned more...

I remember “Mr. Blenderman”, my economics teacher at Lincoln High School in 1968. He was a great teacher! I’m so sorry for the family’s loss of this great man.

My favorite teacher during my years as a student at Lincoln High School in Des Moines. I graduated in 1970. Such a marvelous teacher and super human being. Fond memories sir. RIP.

Now that is a name I haven't heard in years!
Mr Blenderman was one of my teachers at Lincoln. I really liked him. He was a great teacher!

RIP, what was that method that he used back then when he was a much younger man to get your attention, the "squeezy go easy" as he wrenched down on your shoulder......lol???
Great days back then!

RIP
