Mr. Shipman was one my Drivers Education teachers at Mattie T. Blount High School. He was tough but he was a lot of fun. I later worked with him through the Community Activities Program at LeFlore High School.

My sincerest condolences to the family. I know he will be missed. Mr. Shipman taught me Driver's Education. He taught many lessons on safe driving, but the one thing I remember most is not to be afraid of the 18-wheelers on the interstate. Renetta, Leflore HS Class of 85.
