Forgive my lateness, but I just found out Mr. Beard had passed. I was quite the wild child, but Mr. Beard was always, ALWAYS very kind and accepting of me. I still remember the time there were putting in a new cement driveway on the west side of Etna Rd. I attempted to write in it, but Mr. Beard caught me and taught me a respect for all workers that I remember to this day. He was a very nice man and I adored him very much. Now I have a son of my own and I so glad his principal is very much like Mr. Beard. Thank you and God Bless. You are in my heart and in my prayers.
