I was just reading an article about teachers and ones who have made a great difference in the lives of the student they teach. I took Industrial maintenance at WTC, I never did become a millwright as I went into machining then later in life welding, and now HD mechanics. The knowledge I gained from Martin was very very valuable and has helped me to overcome obstacles and make solid repairs in the many machines I've worked on over the years, and his knowledge of manufacturing and machining is something I fall back on today in my current position. I had no idea he passed until just tonight and am grateful I had the chance to learn the skills I did from Martin. Cheers to a great man and a fantastic teacher! Thank you - Posted by: Curtis Tomchuk (Former Student in Industrial Mechanics) on: Dec 28, 2019
