    Wow!! Mr. Mead. Most definitely my favorite teacher at Kakiat(1983,84&85) along with DAN the security guard. My name is Thomas Mitchell my sister Donna and Jerry also attended. My sister sent me your link and I enjoyed everything you mentioned along with the great memories you shared. Can’t wait to buy a copy of your books. Thanks!
