I am so sorry to hear the news about Mr. Laswell. I was new to Ventura and had Mr. Laswell for woodshop at Cabrillo.

Sorry to hear the news of Mr. Lasswell. I was a student at Cabrillo in 1983, his last year of teaching woodshop. Great teacher, great man. You always remember the good ones! God bless the Lasswell family.
