Mr."B" is the name we addressed Frank when we were students at Mac. He was consistently kind and nice with a big, big smile. He seemed to enjoy teaching, laughed often, dressed sharply, and was a positive math teacher who set a good example for us. (I am surprised to read that he was about the same age as our parents.... I thought he was younger.) - Anyway, I searched my old photo albums and found this vintage photo Mr. B in his classroom; (1968-69?). I think I was holding the ruler that he used when drawing geometry shapes on his chalkboard.

Mr. Birmingham was my math teacher in the 9th grade. He was a great teacher.
I remember him for this reason.
