Mr, Itchkawitz was our son, Michael's guidance counselor throughout his high school career. We shared an interest in sports, esp the Boston Red Sox! He was always kind to our family and we often had a chance to chat with him as he was passing out tickets before a basketball and/or football game. Such a wonderful, sweet man. He made a difference in Michael's life and he would be please to know that Michael graduated from Cortland with a degree in Childhood Education - thanks to you ! God bless you as you round the bases towards your next journey.
