Other

I remember high school as one of the best times of my life. Lots of great friends and great teachers. I fund an annual scholarship for a current DHS student in honor of two of the best teachers I ever knew, Arthur Johnston (English), who taught me how to write, and William Oberle (Math), who taught me how to think.
