Though this is after the fact, I wish to relay my sympathy to the KARLBERG family.
I had "Mr K" way back when he taught plumbing at MINUTEMAN TECH, from 1983-1986. He was a real cool teacher and just a cool person all around! No stress at all. He just let us be who we were, which made us all like him. He was liked by all us kids. Though there were 2 other teachers, Mr Rowe and Mr Lentini, MR KARLBERG was the head teacher.
I had him all 3 years until I graduated in 86'.
I did go back to visit afterwards as well, but he eventually left that school.
I will always remember him!
Peace to you Mr K!
JOE DEFELICE.
