I am so sorry to hear of Dr. Denmarks passing. I worked with him at Alamance Elementary School. He was the assistant principal and i was the counselor. He was a funny, kind, sweet man. One time he gave me a ride home from school and he teased me about "driving miss daisy". He will be missed by all who were lucky enough to know him. Cindy Krohn
