Wow not ONE mention here? Well I remember Mr. Carnrite as my principal at Ardsley High School. I must admit I was NOT a very good student and got into trouble often. BUT I now remember Mr. Carnrite was a fair and warm individual. I had the pleasure of speaking to his wife and told me he had succumb to a stroke and was unable to talk to anyone. I asked her if ANY students had call to say thank you, and sadly she said no one. I owe all that I have to Ardsley High School and the education I received there. The fact that I never went to college and was successful as an electrical engineer proves the value of their instilled education and my genetics. My only regret was that I was not a better student. Thank you Mr. Cartrite!
