ids to their chairs. That even made the local news. I had Mrs. Creriatti (I think thats how its spelled) any ways she had just moved to Reno, from Chicago or Boston. Somewhere like that from back east. Watching a movie called Nostradomus that had me scared of an impending nuke attack from Russia. Barbara Vocanivitch even stop by our class to reinforce what we were hearing and seeing on TV with the show Day After Tomorrow. in which the US is involved in a Nuclear exchange with Russia. OBrien Middle = Really miss Mr. Kight. Under his direction I really enjoyed Cross Country, P.E. Preforming Plays and Skits (SNL Style) with Kevin Liestead (Not sure of the spelling) and Typing Class. I Remember we did a student organized walk out during the 83-84 school year. All because the Washoe County School District shortened our lunch hour. The media was there and we were all chanting " Hell No We Won't Go!" Yeah! That's what I'm talking bout! Sad But True: Used to hate Mr. Brown (I Know That For Sure) the wood shop teacher, always wore those suspenders and sat at a desk set high above the rest, at the time I always felt he was acting just like a dictator, kinda cold. All that was to change. Later in my life I was about 21 years old at the time. When I had a chance meeting with him at the radio shack in Lemmon Valley. At first he tried to avoid me. I knew why, because when I was in his shop at the end of my eight grade year, last day of school, I accidentally broke one of his screwdrivers on a grinder. He called my dad to report the damage. Unbeknownst to him, my dad almost always over killed on the discipline. Back in Radio Shack, I approached him, confirmed his identity, hugged and thanked him for being a teacher. Almost instantaneously his eyes welled up and he told me that he no longer taught because he thought no one cared about learning wood skills. He had just entered retirement and yes, he still wore suspenders. Mr. Kight told me he died of cancer 2 months later. After that experience, I contact News Channel 4 and arranged a Award to be presented to Mr. Kight at OBrien Middle School in front of a much younger generation. Thanks Again Mr. Kight!
