Mr. Carson was one of the "good guys" at Camarillo High. Although I never had him as a teacher, a friend of mine did. She said she always looked forward to going to his class. He was very well liked by his students. When I look back on my days in high school, he always comes to mind. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time. He won't be forgotten.
