Anthony Trufolo Doc: Ciphers,Cameras, Real Estate “Teaching students has given me a great deal of personal satisfaction. The influence of a teacher sometimes molds the entire life of a student; there- fore, his influence must be inspiring.” For the 26 years of his teaching career in Red Bank, Mr. Anthony Trufolo, or “Doc,” has tried to implement this philosophy. The measure of its success can be observed not only in the thousands of students with whom he has come in contact, but also on the community. Activity is the keynote of this career. Mr. Trufolo now teaches algebra and runs the AVA facilities of the school; but he has taught physics, electricity, and trigonometry, as well as having served as chairman of the math department. For many years he has been adviser to the Camera and Audio-Visual Aids Clubs. Mr. Trufolo has been chairman of the Teachers Welfare Committee for 20 years. He runs a real estate and insurance business; but because he finds it so enjoyable, he considers it “more like a hobby than anything else.” Mr. Trufolo’s career attests to his belief that one can do anything or be anything as long as he has the will and determination. 9
