Dave was my US History teacher in high school. He and I had very different hair styles at that time, and I have since adopted his. He had a profound effect on me then, whether he was aware of it or not. I drove a remote controlled toy tank though the door of his class one afternoon...he took it in fun...Dave was passionate about the subject matter and welcomed discussions and opinions...something truly rare for a high school teacher. Mr. Paton...I did okay... One of the best...and will be remembered. - Posted by: Bob Dodds (Former Student) on: Jan 31, 2025
