He was my high school principal when I graduated in 2019. He helped me finish my school required credits early so I could go to Marine Corps boot. He never gave up on me and help me in pursuit of my dream of Being a U.S Marine. When I came back a gave him a coin as a thank for helping me to achieve my goal in life. He is an amazing man and very kind I wish him a lifetime of happiness and very peaceful retirement- LCpl Webb,Samuel
