Words of sympathy

David Ross wrote a sympathy message

“Bruce and I started on the same day at Berlin High School in 1966. We taught in adjacent classrooms. At that time there were several of us with young families. We partied, picnicked, and skied together at The Balsams. Those were great memories. Over the years we lost contact with each other. Bruce stayed in Berlin where he established himself as a well-admired and distinguished teacher and administrator. So sorry to hear of your passing. RIP old friend. David Ross”
