Enjoying Antiques Road Show tonight, there’s a collection letters from Jim Thorpe. It brought back the memories of Mr. Raftopolous telling us multiple times about Jim Thorpe. I searched for Mr. Raftolpoous and am saddened to hear he has passed. You were always a pleasure to have in class at Tewksbury Jr. High! I loved your suit coats! You were a class act. Rest In Peace my good sir.

The greatest teacher to have ever graced the classrooms of TMHS. Known for his thrilling stories, and inventor of the original game of "trivia". He will be sorely missed.
