Fond memories of Mr. Grabowski's passionate delivery of material. Middle school / junior high is a tough period for young adults and to keep their attention, much less make them interested in learning and understanding the material, is no mean feat. Yeah, and he was a pretty sharp dresser, too!

I had your father as my teacher for my senior elective, anthropology, so,so many years ago. He was a wonderful teacher, so approachable for a very shy girl. He started a lifelong interest in the subject for me and I will never forget him, may he rest in peace.

Mr Grabowski was my 6th grade Social Studies teacher at LaGrange Jr High. I STILL remember what he taught me about the Crusades and customs. He was a great teacher and sharp dresser back in the 70's!! RIP.
