I am sorry to see Art's passing. I worked for Art in the summers while principal of the high school in 1972 and 1973. He was a great person and taught me skills that I have used over the years in my own homes. I also remember the family. My sympathy to all. Sincerely, Ron GruwellSurprise, AZ 09/07/2010 9:36 AM
