Mr Westerberg was the most patient, kindest teacher I had at Hereford Jr. Sr. High school I had.

Mr. Westerburg had a profound influence in my life while I attended Hereford Jr. Sr. High. I'm eternally grateful for his patience and professionalism this true gentleman showed to me. Over these many many years since the 1970s I have often thought of the lifes lessons Mr. Westerburg taught me. He will be sorely missed all though always with be in my good memories of him.
