When I recall my teachers, elementary through college, there are a few who made a significant difference in my life. You were there among those educators. Your knowledge inspired me, your sense of humor kept me entertained and your belief in me made me want to succeed. I remember you as always being such a gentleman. I know I speak for many others when I say that we were were fortunate to have had you as a teacher at Flemington High School.

A great teacher that made such a great deposit in my life at Flemington High School, Flemington WV. You deposited in me such understanding, grace, and knowledge.. you taught me self respect in the darkest hour of my teenage life.. you gave me courage when I had none.... this I will be forever grateful. Your life will continue through the lives that you touched.
I thank you.
