Thomas Risdon Baine

The answer, Mr. Baine, is Herodotus.

My most memorable, and favorite, school teacher. He educated many and inspired just as many. I am so grateful he was my teacher. My memory of him is always in a classroom -- my teacher.

Mr. Baine was my most favorite and respected teacher. It is my honour to have known him. He has left me with wonderful memories of my high school years. My sisters and I will always remember and cherish those moments with Mr. Baine.

Farewell, my friend of 50 years. You made life interesting for all of us. I'll never forget the VW Beetle that carried us back and/or forth every weekend. You've had a positive impact on so many people in so many ways. See you again some day. Wish we could be there to show our respects. We'll miss you.

Mr. Baine was my favorite teacher. He made learning fun, and, taught me to think outside of the box. I will never forget that the last answer to his weekly quizzes was always "Charlemange". He bought my son his first Hot Wheels car, which eventually led to many more cars in his collection. I will never forget our trip to France. What wonderful memories! Thank you, Mr. Baine, for being a part of my life - both as a student and as an adult.
