I offer my deepest sympathy to the Bates family. I remember Mr. Bates like it was yesterday, as he taught me Biology at John Mc Donogh. He was truly one of my favorite teachers. He performed his job well and left an impression of respect and admiration on me. I would always stop by to see him whenever I visited "The Mac" after graduating. May the Lord bless you and keep you all. Brian Hicks-Class of '86.
