Dear Mentzer Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time. Jim was one of my middle school social studies teachers when I became an administrator at Boiling Springs. Jim had a unique sense of humor with a great smile. I always enjoyed talking sports with Jim.
God Bless!
Stephen A. Andrejack, D. Ed.
