I can firmly say that I am a doctor because of Mr. Rittmueller. I searched his name hoping to find a mailing address to tell him thank you. But here I am.


Thank you Mr. Rittmueller. I wouldn't be who I am today without your 8th grade science class. You brought science to life and asked the hard questions. I'm sorry I couldn't tell you sooner.
