Mr. Polcari taught me at Blythewood High School, SC. He was one of my favorite teachers. When I left the Blythewood area, when he saw a member of my family, he would always ask how I was doing. I learned from that that he held me in high regard which truly made me feel so proud of him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. He made a good impression on me.
