  Thanks for the comment. Yes, we often don’t realize how important our teachers and mentors and janitors are in our lives until some time has passed.
  You are at the top of the list of mentors to Karen and me. Hope to see you and visit next time we are north. Give my best to Carolyn.

What a neat picture of Rusty and an equally wonderful description of him.

Good stuff. I was three grades behind you at Limestone, and had Miss Maberry for her final year of teaching–she certainly scared us, too. David’s last name was Leafhead, I’m fairly sure. We were shocked when he died. Mr. Matthews is still alive and well in Bartlesville.

  I adored Mr. Matthews! As the youngest of six, he affectionately called me Baby Johnson. I remember his last year at Limestone. The entire school honored him with his own day that we named “Mr. Matthews Day”, and we had a assembly for him. Every few years my siblings and I would go visit him at his new school. He is a gem! Thanks for sharing your sweet memory of him.

Man this is great. I remember he was at the ball park and saw me hit my first home run in baseball. It was awesome. He was a great, great guy.

I was at limestone from ’70 to ’73. I remember and loved Rusty and also was one of the ice hockey idiots who narrowly escaped David’s fate that day. I was a fifth grader. I often think of that family, David’s older brother, Jeff. How everyone made it through. RIP Jeff. Thanks for the Limestone article.
