What a wonderful history teacher I had at Wilder High School, in the 70's. Mr. Austin taught me so much and I can still see him walking the halls of Wilder High. My sympathy to the family at this time..I remember his two boys Jamie and Brian. Now that Father and Brian are together, you can rest assured that they are at peace with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
