Most Memorable Experience at AHS: A student I once had in the first grade came back to visit me. To my surprise, a grown man gave me a big hug and said ”You made a lawyer”. I asked “How did I do that?” He said,“You made it possible  for me to take the first step and that was learning to read." Needless to say I was touched by his visit and kind words. It was a very memorable experience in my teaching career at AHS.
