I just ran across Mr Devine“s passing. Mr Devine was a gift from God got me when I started at NSJSHS in the fall of 1974. Going from Halliwell elementary grade 6 - 7th grade at the High School was a huge adjustment for me. He was a wonderful and caring man. He let me come to his office a lot that year. He helped me out with my schedule for several years too I could not have made it without him. He had a Beautiful heart. I do send my love and prayers to his family. Between him and my Dad, (Ronald Dubois) I am still grateful.
