Ronald Allen Prochnow

Mr. Prochnow was my 6th and 8th grade teacher at St. John's in Chicago. I am now a Lutheran School teacher, and that is largely because of Mr. Prochnow's influence. He was a wonderful teacher and man of great Christian faith. He truly cared about the children he worked with. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to know him and share in his many gifts.
