I had Mr Saunders for Trig. He was tough but fair. After my first year in college I went to his office to thank him for preparing me and for being the finest teacher I had at Grimsley.

I have so many memories of Mr Saunders. I don´t know if I can put this into words, doesn´t seem like it comes close to showing my respect. He was simply the finest teacher I ever had.

Mr Saunders was one of those teachers you never forget. Smart as could be and he loved to teach. I learned so much from him and will never forget his mannerisms and that wicked smile at times. How lucky were we to have him!! RIP
