Rusty was my 5th and 6th grade teacher in 1975 and 1976.

He was a incredibly intuitive teacher and believed one could learn as much outside of the classroom as they could in.

He is likely a great reason I trust I have any creativity in my soul.

Thank you Rusty I have and will continue to pass on your love for all and to all I encounter...
