Mr. Alfred Forche is a dedicated teacher and parent of many years. After 53 years of marriage, four children, eight grandchildren, and four great- grandchildren he is still actively teaching at the age of 78. His son, Timothy Forche said, He did what he was supposed to do as a parent and in that department I think he was perfect. Mr. Forche worked his way through Eastern Michigan University and started teaching in Flushing and then Holt. Starting at the time of the depression, Mr. Forche worked on the WPA for the Ingham County Road Commission. During the war he worked at a defense plant in Lansing, and finally he became a chemist at Wyeth Laboratories. He often worked night shifts at the lab so he would be able to pursue his first love, teaching, as a substitute. Current and former students remember Mr. Forche for his capability to tell a good story, especially about his travels to all 50 states as well as all continents except Antarctica. He speaks lots o f languages and has been to so many places, I would love to travel like him, said current student Chris Thomas. He ' s cool! He tells real exotic stories, like me, and that ' s why I like him so much, said current student Adrian Arnold. I had him as a seventh grade Math teacher when he taught full time in Holt, 1936-37, said former student Iva Butler. I thoroughly enjoyed his teaching and being in his class was a pleasure, said former student Mrs. Alicd Buxton. I consider him a great influence and help. said j former student Mrs. Betty Drier. i 16 Dedication
