Not sure what to say?

One of many fine teachers I and at New Trier, I often disagreed with Mr. Metzger but always respected him. I think what I appreciated the most was that he didn't hesitate to disagree, but he was NEVER disagreeable. Thank you, Mr. Metzger, for being my Sophomore year English teacher..

H. Earle Metzger was a true "Pearl"...he was my advisor for 4 years...an incredibly king and caring man, to his students, faculty and my mom, who worked in the cafeteria....godspeed, Mr. Metzger...

I was in Mr Metzger's first advisory group during his first year at New Trier, 1961. He had an incredible impact on my life, and I remember him with great fondness and respect. He drove an old beat up Nash Rambler, and the advisory bought him a Volkswagon to replace the old rust bucket. The administration made him give it back. We really loved him. It is with great sadness that I have learned of his passing.

One of the finest people to ever teach at New Trier. Rest in peace sir, you did your job and you did it well.
