Mr. Ripke was our 4th grade teacher at St. James. He was always very calm & gentle, even when the kids got into mischief. He was a good man.

He was my 5th grade teacher at St James. He was a nice guy. I still remember the first time he saw his wife ( Kris Ply). I was love at first sight. We got to take an extra recess so he could go outside to see her. I think she was doing a science experiment with the 4th grade.
