John was one of the people who hired me for my first teaching job at Mitchell as a Biology teacher in 1971. I remember him as a kind department chairman who cared for

Though I haven't seen John Akey for many years, I will remember him always as such an inspiratioal person and educator. We were so blessed to be able to take courses from him and take our classes to the Mitchell Planetarium for his fascinating performances. How wonderful to have been such a positive influence on so many lives. His family is surely proud.
