I knew Oscar back in the 1960's and 70's when he was Executive Director of the IFT and a friend. He was responsible for so many good things that have happened to teachers...a true pioneer. Tom Amato

Dear Kent, Laura & family, my deepest sympathy. Your dad and I were classmates and good friends sixty some years ago at McKendree College. I'll not forget the many hours we spent solving the world's problems through the wee hours of the morning! Oscar will not be forgotten.
Sincerely,
Charles Kamm
