Had Jim for senior year of Calculus in 88/89. He made it fun and easy telling cool stories and jokes along the way. Gave me a great foundation succeed in college and business.

Mr. Burton inspired me to be a teacher as he was the best math teacher I had and was the consummate professional, patient, calm, funny.
