Wayne Crawford Remembered
I’m sure that everyone has at least one teacher they can point their finger to and say, “He (or she) was my favorite teacher.” For me, Wayne Crawford was that guy. When Mr. Crawford (no disrespect to his “Dr.” designation, you will always be Mr. Crawford to me) passed away this year, I asked District 118 Superintendent , Mark Denman if they were going to do a write up of Mr. Crawford in an upcoming issue of the Maroon & White EXTRA. He told me that they were just starting to put it together. I asked if I could write it.
As the very last editor to serve under Mr. Crawford, I felt that it was only fitting, and the least that I could do, to honor him. I want to thank all the past students of his that contributed to the article. I know that it’s a small slice of the students that he influenced.
I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. The link to the article is below, its in a pdf format.

This is a touching tribute, Keith. Very nicely written. I never knew him, but this article made me wish I did.
