And also we remember his interest in our model railroading club, being one of the sponsors. Mr Mirus is a special person of many interests who has taught us a great deal We thunk him. Wc have shared the good times ana the bad times with this man. but most of all. a true friend He has taught us to be serious, to write letters to organizations when we don't like what they do. He has a good sense of humor: we remember how often he has joked with us. Me may be strict, but he also taught us pride in our small world of the dcuf and how we must get along in the big hearing world alter we graduate.
