I am very sorry to hear about the passing of my friend, Anthony Sylvester. He and I shared many educational ideas and thoughts about how to make students successful and what educational leader should do to make schools better for all learner. He was a kind and gentle person who was respected by everyone who knew him. We developed a long friendship which included my wife (Angelyn) and children (Meika and Joe, Jr.).
