Please accept my sympathies on losing such a wonderful person. "Mr. Gardner" was my elementary school principal so many years ago and now, as an adult in the field of education myself, so many of the kind and wonderful things he did have stayed with me and influence my own style of relating to my students. I especially remember going to his office on my birthday every year and receiving my birthday pennies. What a thrill to be sent to the principal's office for such a special recognition. Mr. Gartner legacy will surely be carried into the future for many, many generations to come.
