What a beautifully written( and true) tribute to George Stevenson.

Dear Uncle Dave:
Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. How beautiful.

I was also a secretary at Handy. His birthday was the day before mine and he sent me to the cafeteria so the Special Ed. students could sing to me and give me a cupcake with a candle. They had done it for him the day before.

When he found out the chair I was using was making my back ache he told me he called a local office supply store and told them to let me pick out a chair that would not hurt my back & charge it to him.

He was principal for all 4 of my kids. When a mistake was made in my daughter's GPA he came to me and said he had to talk to her and asked what her reaction would be and I said she would cry. After he met with my daughter he came to my office and said I was right. She cried and then so did he.

He played pranks but he had a heart of gold, he was sensitive to other people's feelings & was a true educator.

Just found out about the passing of Mr.Stevenson this afternoon. He was a great man and May he rest in peace knowing what an inspiration he was to so many.

What more can I say that hasn't already been said? He was kind, compassionate, funny. He loved people, animals, birds, plants...and was a competent, dedicated administrator. I was a secretary in the Handy office for 17 years, the last three as George's "lead secretary," replacing Iva Hartingh, a legend herself.
My heart goes out to Patsy, Fritzi and Shannon. Great article, David. Dolores
