We all loved him--a way cool teacher who was NOT your standard high school teacher!!! (He smoked cigarettesIN CLASS and swore at us!) It was his one and only high school teaching job. I don't think he came back after 88/89 school year. (I distinctly recall him telling us LOTS of times that he was not cut out for this!) We thought he was so cool and all really connected to him. Despite the fact that he was not your average teacher...he was awesome and I will always remember him as one of my favorite teachers ever. Izzy sent a note to my page after I posted a pic of our drama class on FB.(same one you have on my profile) to tell us he died, so I thought it was fitting to include him in our memorium.
