As principal, Mr. Gruwell was a fair and caring man. Those of us who were lucky enough to have met or worked with Tom came away the better for it. I worked for Mr. Gruwell as an aid in his office and later as a teacher's aid at the high school. I am saddened by his passing and wish to extend my condolences to Tom's family.
