I knew Mr. Morales for one year of my life---he was my 9th grade P.E. instructor.
He combined discipline, humor and warmth. He challenged all of us to be better.
He even challenged one student to a fifty yard dash---and he was not a long legged man!
It was a dead heat.
Funny how memories come back even 44 years later.
He would have made a great friend.
His family is truly blessed.
