Mr Rush helped me get into my preferred College after I had been initially denied entry. He saw how upset I was and spoke to a recruiter that was visiting Salisbury High at the time. I was called out of class to his office where he introduced me to the recruiter. Later on I was accepted to the University. Because of his efforts my life was changed dramatically and he played a major part of my wonderful Life! Thank you Mr Rush for caring about me! Tim Torrence SHS Class of 1981
