sadI didn't have him as a teacher, but knew him to be one of the best social studies teachers there. The last time I saw him was at an alumni event, the home DLS FB opener back in 2003. Brian Trenner was with me as his alma mater, Palma, was playing DLS. EDIT: Brian and I were talking and Samson overheard us and joined in our conversation as we waited in line for the BBQ. Even though I never had a class with him, he remembered me as I did attendance for two semesters (who didn't remember me from that campus?!? heh) This was a year and a half ago, and then, he was extemely well. Fast forward to a year after that meeting, and he was diagonsed, and from there...
Not just in my personal life, have I had a lot people I've known pass away within the past year. DLS has experienced a lot of tragedies this year, starting with the unfortunate shooting death of a recent graduate. Now there's word (via MySpace) that the current principal has skin cancer, but I haven't got confirmation of that.
Anyways, as soon as I get further information, I'll pass it along to you.
