I remember Mr. Tinker subbing at the high school in Jerome. He was great! I'm 34 years old now, and think of him often. Especially when I hear others say, "This is the best/worst day ever!" He always added, "so far" because you were always guaranteed another one later in life. He also always told us he never needed to remember anything he wrote down, he just needed to remember he wrote it down. He was so fun! I'm sad to hear he passed, but it looked like he lived a long life so that makes me happy.
