I was an 8th grade student of his back in the 1976-77 year and remember well his sense of humor and passion for teaching. One day he took the entire class down 2 floors to have some fun with Mrs. Schlossberg, the earth science teacher while wearing a plastic dome used in science labs. He would call himself "Kelvin man -238" or something like that. It was hysterical.Great guy and a great teacher. He lives on in so many of us.
