Mr. Hadigian had to deal with me all too often in after school detention. He knew I loved to draw and so he always gave me a pass to draw instead of read or write. He encouraged me to take my Art seriously and now I'm a professional Artist. He had a great sense of humor but he was very subtle about it. He was always my favorite detention teacher. Thank You Mr. H.

What a great guy. Thank you so much for your talks and guidance Mr. H. We were all blessed to have such a great teacher, leader, and mentor in the Manchester school system. Not many had the patience and understanding for me as you did. You were always one of my favorite teachers even in after school detention. Lol. My deepest sympathies go out to your family.....
