Mr. I was my 7th grade teacher many years ago. He’s one of the best teachers that has ever lived. A lot of what he taught me has stuck. He lives forever through his family, friends & his students. I think of Mr. I often. May God bless you & may you Rest In Peace old friend.

Sebastian and Lynne were part of the core group of the folk dancing club back in the 70's and 80's. Even though we've been out of touch since then, they've remained dear to our hearts, and we are sad to hear about the loss of our friend.
