Gregory Allen Hearn

I was a student in Mr. Hearn's social studies classes at Horace Mann in 1963-65 and he took time to be a role model and positive influence for a socially awkward nerdy 13 year old like me.

I will always remember what a true gentleman and friend you have been to me for so many years Papa G and I will always be there for Vonnie.

Always in my heart with the greatest respect for the kindness you have given me. Sue

In 1966 and 1967 I worked with Greg when I was a very young teacher at Horace Mann Jr. High in SF.

I can still feel the inspiration he provided for me at a time that I really needed it.
