Role model, teacher and friend
Herr was more than a teacher, he was a role model. He taught German which I took for all of high school even though I knew German, because being a part of the German Honor Society and the community he created was an experience I cannot describe--you felt like you were a part of something larger than yourself, and we were dedicated to the GHS and to Herr. I sang all the songs he taught us to my children, and I am sure I can still dance the quadrille. I found him years later thanks to the Internet and was so pleased to speak to him and tell him what an amazing teacher he was and the effect he had on so many people, and he generously shared his water colors with me--what a one of a kind man. Love you always Herr!
