To Shelia and family, my memories of John as a loving ,caring,giving person not only as an educator but also as a compassionate human being will always be etched in my memories of my 18 yrs at the Prep. His smile was the first thing I saw every morning as I came down the hall. Angela Gill Padgett(TPS-1984-2002)
