My condolences to the Keyser Family. I had the privilege of being one of his many students at Fort Lee High School, from 1981 to 1985. I was a member of the Computer Club, of which he was the advisor for, as well as a student in all of the computer courses he taught. I am forever grateful to Mr. Keyser for his many kindnesses, his patience, advice, and knowledge that you imparted to me. I wouldn't be where I am now in my career in computers, if it weren't for you. Thank you for setting me on the right course, and always being there for me.
