Mr. Cosner was a wonderful teacher. He helped me a great deal and I was able to graduate high school with straight A's - something I didn't think was possible! His kindness and patience will not be forgotten. I remember that he was also a gifted photographer. I'm sorry to hear he is no longer with us. xoxo
