Mr. Allen was by far my favourite teacher at East High School when the RCSD reorganized and transferred Minroe High students to East (circa 1970-ish)@. I was in his eleventh grade American History class. It’s been a long time, nearly forty years, but I remember that he was out for a month or so on sick leave. As our class had studied the US Constitution with him, we made a Get Well card for him in the form of the Constitution. When he returned to class, he told us how it was worth being out just to receive that card.
I recall writing to him when I was in college to let him know that I had declared my major in History.
Condolences to you. May all your precious memories comfort you. Share those memories with his grandchildren and all who will come after and know that he touched many lives.
