Mr. Hales will always be in our hearts. Too few students were able to enjoy the experience of being in Mr. Hales' classroom -- he brought literature to life and put drama in our hearts. He could have taught us a lifetime and we'd still be learning. We love you, Mr. Hales. God Bless your loved ones in their loss.
