I remember Mr Sandage fondly. He was principal of Muskogee Central High while I was a student. I graduated in 1969. I also remember his sons as well. He did a very difficult job very well. Condolences to the family.
Also he was the only person I knew with the name of Buford. My dad's name was Buford Groom

Mr. Sandage was my principal at Pershing Elementary in Muskogee in the the early 60s. He was the best. They don't make principals like him anymore. I'm very saddened to hear of his passing.

I was sad to hear of the passing of Mr. Sandage, who was my high school principal in Muskogee, OK. I remember him fondly. I have a been a principal in Muskogee for the past 17 years, so I understand how difficult his job was and how well he did it. My name was Maudye Jayne, when I graduated from Central High School in 1967.
