Coach Harry Crosthwaite

Mr. Crosthwaite was my journalism teacher from 1973-1976.  He was kind and patient, but he expected excellence...which must have been difficult for him, since we were seldom striving for it.  I believe he had lost his son shortly before he resumed doing the yearbook and school newspaper...perhaps that was why he could be so patient with us...hoping we would live, and grow into more responsible adults.  I hope he enjoyed teaching us.  I don't think I showed much appreciation, but whenever I think of high school, he is always there...present in my memories...still teaching me.
