My condolences to the family are a bit late, I apologize. Both myself & my sister Nanette were students of Mr. Meck at Lakeview Elementary. Thank you for your many dedicated years as a teacher in our community. There are only a few great teachers like him & he made a difference! I still hang my clothespin reindeer x-mas ornaments on my tree every year that we made in class in 1989! I hope you rest peacefully and my prayers with you and your family. Again Thanks - Sincerely Erika Moran
