Mr. Smajstrla was one of my favorite teachers at Parker. Thank you for your kindness and patience. You made a little girl feel she could accomplish anything with enough practice. God bless you and your family.

To the family of Mr. Smajstrala:
Much sympathy to you.
To me he was a teacher of music, the Ernest Parker Jr. High years. I never knew the music within me until he took me out of home-ec and put a clarinet in my hands.
Thank you, Mr. Smajstrala, for putting up with the squeaks and sqwawks 'til I got it.
Peace be with you, Mr. Smajstrala,
