I always liked Mr. Lindquist (he was the principal at McGuffey Elementary) even though I felt the wrath of his paddle (the one that had holes in it) a few times. But, he was always fair and I enjoyed working for him selling programs at OSU. One of the few people in the world that you wish more people were like. Great man. RIP
