Fue mi profesor de inglés en la antigua Universidad Interamericana en la calle Estrella en Ponce en mi año de "prepa" (agosto 1982).

The World has lost a great man, a unique human being, an incredible educator and I have lost a wonderful friend. I met Professor Pryde when I decided to get my degree in Education once my youngest son was in second grade. I had been assigned to a basic English lass and once I spoke he literally threw me out and told me to go get placed in an advanced class. He brought out the best in me and in all of his students.

Istill am trying to handle your loss! Please rest in Peace. You have always been a large part of my Heart!!

I sorely miss my friend of 70 plus years. You have a Special place in my heart!! LOVE YOU DEARLY. Minnie
