He was our drafting teacher at NC School for the Deaf, Morganton, NC during the late 1960's. He kept us glued on how to put together wood rockets and to shoot them, etc. Our condolences go to his family and friends.

Dwight was my favorite teacher at Spanish River. He used to call me Mr Eddie. I learned a lot from him and still have some things I made in his shop class 25 years ago.
