I was a brand new PE teacher and he helped in many ways as a mentor, advisor, and all around kind person. He meant what he said and said what he meant. I lost touch with him after I moved out of the district and it is sad to hear that he had to go through so much stress as an administrator. Knowing Stu, he was probably doing everything possible to help the students and staff under his supervision. However, the "new" DOE many times sees to it that good men and women are not properly praised for their positive actions any more. Sad to say the least.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
