Memories and Condolences

"Mr. Horton" was a fine man and excellent teacher. I had the honor of his being my Senior Math teacher at the old McKinley HS in 1974. He loved to talk about his favorite show on TV, Gunsmoke. Every time I watch the reruns I think of him. I am sorry to hear of his passing.
