I will always think of him as Mr. Paulchell, my principal.But I have to say he made a very wise choice for me when I was a child.He choose to hold me back a year. We were knew to Avon from Lorain. Avon students were reading and I was behind because Lorain was just starting phonics.This choice I think was the wisest decision of my childhood education.I have him to thank for that.So his family should know he made a difference in so many lives. Prayers for all of you.
