Dr. G was my Science teacher at Harding Middle School. He was a fine gentleman in his craft and I appreciate what he did and who he was in and out the classroom. I got the opportunity to run into him a few times out and about. It was good reminiscing on the days at Harding. Funny thing is, he always remembered my face, but not my name until I told him and he'd say That's right and laugh a bit. Condolences goes out to his family, friends, Christ Temple family, and everyone of us who had the opportunity to know him. You finished your course Doc, so take your well deserved Rest, my friend. See you later!!!
