I so enjoyed art class with Mr Davis back in the late 70's. Always smiling and easy going, he was great at inspiring his student and their art projects.

So sorry to hear of Terry´s passing. He was a good friend to my brother John Miars. He was also my art teacher in New Bremen. He always insisted that I call him Mr. Davis at school, but to me he was John´s friend Terry. RIP Mr. Davis
