I was a students of Mr.Armuth while I attended Brownstown middle school, a few years back. It's not his teaching that I remember but his words of encouragement. He could always sense that off day you were experiencing, and know how to make you think of things differently. I now live in illinois, and had stayed in contact with Mr. Armuth a couple of times, and he was always so generous to offer up insightful phrases of encouragement, even though he didn't know of my hardships any longer. Mr. Armuth will forever be remembered
Sincerely
