Keith Weidner was a terrific teacher and better man. He taught the advanced literature class I took as a senior at Milton-Union. I don't recall the circumstances but on a couple occasions a few of us found ourselves at his home on Horseshoe Bend Road, near the Stillwater River. He made us feel welcome as though we were old friends. I always considered him one of my favorite teachers. I was a better student having had the opportunity to sit in his class.
