I have so many great and fun memories of Mr. Whiteman at Ashton School. He was definitely one of my all time favorite teachers. He always made the classroom interesting and fun. You never knew what he would do next. My favorite memory was when he was upset with everyone for doing so poorly on a test, he stood on his desk and started throwing out questions from the test and giving extra credit to anyone that could answer. Needless to say, everyone studied for the next test. He was the kind of teacher you could talk to about anything problem you were having in life and feel confident he would help you through it. I feel blessed to have been able to have had him as a part of my life for the short time he was in Ashton

Im so sorry to here this, I went to school in Ashton, IL.
Dave was one of my favorite teachers, Ive brought him up in conversations over the years and wondered how he was?
I remember his History lessons in the classroom and his coaching passion on the sidelines during a basketball game. He'd get so fired up if there was a bad call.
I thought a lot of him.

Mr. Whiteman was a beloved teacher and coach at Ashton Jr High & High School during the late 70's and early 80's. He was my favorite teacher. Sending my love and prayers for his family. Cindy Foster Knight
