To the Evans Family,

Mr. Garth Evans was my accounting teacher in high school at Minerva, Class of 1993. As someone mentioned here, he was intimidating at first. That changed once you gave him some time and got to know him. He was a great teacher. If you ever had a question about something, you could always go to him to ask. He constantly talked about his wife and family during class. I still remember that after all this time. I am thankful for the opportunity to have been taught by this man. Thinking of your whole family in thoughts and prayers at this time.

Mr. Evans,
Thank you for teaching me everything I know about dental hygiene:) And the importance of having a checkbook and savings account. And for driving that little car that always made me giggle:) You didn't just teach government, you also taught accountability for human beings.
