This saddens me. I was a student at NIACC in the summer of 1980, after I had to drop a Psychology course at Drake University the previous Spring. Mr. Mistek was my teacher, and he was just great - BOTH as a dedicated educator and as a man who genuinely cared about his students and their future. I truly enjoyed being in his class, and he gave me an "A" ! Rest in Peace, good man.
