Not sure what to say?

Mr. Sampson was my 5th grade teacher at Muffley School. He was the best! It was 1980 and Rubik's Cube was the hot ticket item at Christmas that year. The whole class thought he was a genius, he could solve that puzzle in a minute. Prayers and Peace to the entire Sampson Family.

Kent was a great friend and coworker. I remember when Kent and his son and I and my son went to a Cardinal game. We had Stan Musial´s box seats. We were in the first row opposite 1st base.

I had Mr. Sampson at Roosevelt Jr High School for 7th grade history. He had me work in an independent study about Dolley Madison because I "knew too much" general history. We shared a mutual love of Simon & Garfunkel. I loved his class. He was a kind person.
