I was Ron's social studies teacher when he was in sixth grade. It was my first year of teaching and the class of '74 was truly a remarkable group of kids. Ron was remarkable in his own right--humorous, passionate, and always with something to say no matter the situation. I remember him vividly in a way that makes me smile even now. My condolences to his family and the friends who will miss him. I am grateful for having known him.
