Mr. Andrew Bereza was not only a teacher, he also was like a father to me. I came to Brandon in 85 and spent 2 years at ACC. There were the best two years in my life. Andy was extremely supportive and a great teacher. May he rest in peace - Posted by: Mahmoud (baltaji) on: Jul 29, 2015

A great teacher and an even greater person. I have many fond memories of my time at ACC, Andy was a big part of that. - Posted by: Gary Holdaway (Former Student 1973 - 1974) on: Jul 20, 2015

Although it's 32 years ago now, completing my first year of Electrical Technology at ACC in Brandon, it doesn't seem that long ago. Definitely a memorable year, leaving home right after Grade 12, and I could still picture Mr. Bereza in my mind! He loved to teach, had a great personality, was a very nice man, and often made us laugh with his sense of humour. I chose Computer Tech. for second year, and as Brandon didn't have that program, I had to go to RRCC in Winnipeg, but I often think I should have stayed with the Electrical program in Brandon. It was just a short 10 months that I knew Mr. Andy Bereza, and that was many years ago now, but I remember him well. Rest in Peace Mr. Bereza. - Posted by: Bradley Pisiak (Former student at ACC (1982-83)) on: Jul 18, 2015
