Dear Lang Family,
Ever since I graduated I have often thought about Mr. Lang and how much he meant to me as a teacher and mentor. I wish I would have written to him sooner.
His class stands out still today as my favorite class of all time! On a North Olmsted graduate group I belong to on facebook, from time to time someone will ask....."Who was your favorite teacher?" My answer NEVER changes. It was Mr. Lang & Mr. Evans (who co-taught a social studies course)

Dear Lang Family,
Mr. Lang was my ninth grade Social Studies teacher. Since then (I am now 51) he has stood out in my memory as an exeptional teacher and individual. I am very sorry to hear of his passing. Nora Bockmiller

Dear Lang Family
Joe was a great teacher and took interest in the activities of other people. We always enjoyed his conversations when we went up to the barn where we had things stored. It was good getting to know him.
