Where did the years go? It seems like yesterday I enjoyed the interactions with most of John's family. Some through teaching in my science classes and others through my assistant principalship. The sorrow you must feel also affects me as I always looked upon the students of SJHS as "my kids". I am truly sorry for John's passing and the grief you all experience at this time. May he now RIP!
