Good Bye Mr. Wright. I Will Never Forget Class Discussions Around The Moon Landing And So Many Things You Taught Us About Everyday Science I Still Use Today. You Made My Time At Elkview Junior High School The Best Years Of My Young Education And Instilled A Love Of Science That I Still Enjoy And Have Passed On To My Son. God Bless Your Family.
