I had the privilege of having Mr. Kuehn as my math analysis teacher at Interlake High School in 1971-72. Hands down, the best maths teacher I ever had! Miles ahead of any other teacher I ever had. I've often wondered how differently my life might have unfolded if only I had Mr. Kuehn early in my scholastic career! Many thanks for sharing him and his teaching experience with us. I'll be forever grateful.

Mr. Kuehn was my math teacher at Interlake High School. More important than the math itself, he taught us the work ethic and discipline necessary to learn. He was a great teacher and a great inspiration.
