Duane's Story
There must be a story in here somewhere.
I want to thank Harold Johnson for teaching me to touch-type in the summer of 1961. The sound of a metronome will always take me to the second floor typing room of SHS.
While I am able to thank each classroom teacher that I ever had for something, and notably my Junior High and Senior High English teachers - Emily Benjamin, Helen Benjamin, Maxine Weber, Margaret Welty, and Joyce Kaser - plus a Spanish teacher, Shearl Edler, Personal Typing class gave me the freedom to think about what I wanted to say, a freedom I don't always exercise.

God has blessed me. May God bless you, friend.
