Mrs. Begin & Family,

I am very saddened to hear of your husband's passing. He was a favorite teacher of mine in Newtown as my seventh and eighth grade French teacher in 1970 and '71. I have many, many fond memories of him and how he handled our antics in his classroom. It was a wonderful learning experience, but more importantly Norman was humorous and kind and I will always remember him that way. Over the years I was fortunate to run into him on several occasions, and my brother was a next-door neighbor to his parents in Bridgeport. I will keep him and your family in my prayers. My deepest sympathy ...
