A Great Man

I attended Wahconah Regional High School from 1970 to 1974.  My recollections of  our Principal, Mr. Franklin,"  can best be described as ~

One who demonstrated skill at being our leader.  One who was a genuine peacemaker and confidence-builder  earning respect from his administration - VP, James O'Connor and Secretary,  Mrs. Bowers. and his fellow teachers.   And as for the rest of us ~  freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors ~ I think for the most part, we respected his integrity.   We noticed his sense of humor; it didn't appear often, but when it did, well, the man laughed!

To me, he  portrayed calmness while letting his administrators blow smoke.  

And when he smiled, it was genuine; full of love.   God's Peace be with you Mr. Franklin.
