Reggy and I worked together in establishing special ed. programs for children in need. In all my years in education I never met anyone who was more dedicated,or who gave more of themselves to his profession than did Reggy. Rest in peace my friend.

In the early years of special education you and I both contributed to the development of educational materials for our special ed students. Later we vied for the same position at BOCES II, Dr Phelan hired you and you went on to do an outstanding job as the Director. That was a long time ago, my friend.
