My condolences on your loss. I was a student of Dr. Predny's at Rich East High School. I took Chemistry and Advanced Chemistry, graduating in 1976. These classes sparked my interest in Chemistry that took me to Pharmacy School and ultimately Medical School. I still remember my classes fondly and tell stories about our Advanced Chemistry class.
