I was a very scared student teacher who had to say the least, had not had favorable rapport with my first cooperating teacher. My advisor at RIC said do I ever have a placement for you. It was Maury Loontjens at Woodridge. The man was an inspiration to the lives of every student he touched, including me. It was obvious that there was no one more dedicated to his profession, and he truly loved and cared about each child, regardless of their circumstances. I obviously learned a lot about teaching from Maury, as I went on to teach at not only at the elememtary level, but also in middle schools and at the college level. If any students from that era read this, hey guys, I still have all the pictures from that year, and I would be happy to share them with you. Please feel to contact me, I remember most of you, and I will never forget Maury Loontjens. Karl Peterson karl.peterson1@comcast.net It was the second half of the 1973-1974 school year.
