I graduated from Nokomis in 1981, Spent my last year in Night school, Most of the teachers there were great. I had one exceptional teacher, God rest his soul, Mr Savage spent alot of time helping me with things I didnt understand, Im now a manager in Florida, And alot of what he taught me I use on a daily basis.
