Dear Mr. Pryde (Thomas), Sorry I can't call you Thomas so easily, but know that it was always because I have such a high esteem and deep respect for you sir.

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. He worked us hard to make us better than we ever imagined we could be. ...
