Dear MSHS, FMJHS, White Oak, Lincoln, Greenwood, Bryn Mar, Port Vue, Dravoesburg, Versailles Boro, and all the alumni/alumna. Teachers we feared, loved - how to narrow the list! All time question: "Has Shelby Irwin ever found that damn penny?" Category - Instilled Fear, Respect, Scholarship: Dr. Ritchie Helen G. Malseed - went into subjects no other teacher would dare address John " I may vomit" Yarnovik Jim Steel - Grace Lemon Helen Scott Sirs: Piesik and Burns Mr. Parucha Mr. Byron Miss Kaltrider Mrs. Kenny Mrs. Mansfield aka to older students as Miss Judge Joe Lynch Miss Norton Miss Thompson Mr. Irwin Miss Hall Mr. Evans Teachers - easy and fun Coach Schaefer Mr. Clark Mrs. Jenkins Miss Bowls Miss O'Tool Mrs. Donnelly (sp) Mr. Mason Mr. Coe Just Detested: Mrs. Ripple ALL SHOP TEACHERS Mr. (Italian Last Name) gym teacher. Put me in the hospital - paralyzed waist down when he used a paddle to freely! Still have medical problems with lower back because of it. Question: Can we possibly list for future generations and research their families may conduct: Assemble a list of all the teachers who served us so well - School - Name - nickname if any, Year person was your teacher, Grade and a brief comment.. If you Email me at MStauf511@aol.com I will assemble the list by District, School and Chronology in an HTML format, edit down multiple comments for clarity. Include both good and bad comments and then give it George as a list for "All Things McKeesport" I think this might be a whole lot of fun. In fact - I would like McKeesport to have a "Teacher Recognition and Appreciation Day". Invite all living teachers of the McKeesport and surrounding communities who were or are now part of McKeesport Area School District. Give some of us older grads a chance to thank personally those special teachers. Invite a Nationally Recognized Academic - credentialed or Newsperson ( Tom Brokaw, Colin Powell ) come to mind - not just some local politician. Invite the governor and both of our Pennsylvania U.S. Senators. It would be good for the cities image. It might attract attention of the national media. Help attract business and jobs back to the Mon-Yough Area. Think of it as the ultimate "Classes Gift" to the school and city. It is the least we can do for a city that we all hold special and gave all of us a foundation. Let the region know "McKeesport Values Education." Being a McKeesport Tiger means never giving up.
