Yes, he was my school teacher at Aberdeen High School. I always like him. He was such a calm teacher. In the late 60's, kids could get a little rowdy. I am so proud I can say I had you for a teacher.

I remember going on field trips to nearby stores and comparison shopping during Consumer Math Class, also were I learned how to keep a checkbook. Mr Colonna was a great teacher, funny and friendly.

Ginny and Skip, sorry to hear of Al's passing, he was great family friend. I still remember him letting me stand on his shoes and walk with him.. no idea why though ! I was probably only a few years old !! and the trains in the basement and his garden.
