James "Jim" MARTIN

Hello, my name is Pamela Hamrick Behrens and want to write about my favorite RBHS teacher, Mr. Martin. Please, dear family, know how greatly he influenced my life. I truly wish I had contacted him but now speak to all of you who love him. I became his drama student and he brought my talents in the arts alive. I and other students performed (for him) at Palm Beach Community College...I performed Saint Joan and wanted to make him proud.

I was from a broken home and Mr. Martin...

Jeane and Family Members,
I had heard that Jim passed away last year, but I could never find the obituary in the newspaper. I see you are having a service this Wednesday, but I will be in Orlando caring for my grandson while my daughter takes my granddaughter to college. I just want you to know that from me that Jim was a dedicated educator and a perfect gentleman. He was loved by all the teachers at Suncoast. With sincere sympathy, Kay Carnes( SHS 1989-2004)
