It was a blessing to know and work with Archie since the early 1960's. Both his professional abilities and his true concern for the staff and sutdents at WSSD were an inspiration. I am thankful for his friendship. May God reward him with choicest blessings.

Hey everyone,

I remember him being my first superident as I've enrolled into WSD in autumn '71. He was a very dedicated fellow cherising every aspect of WSD itself and had a great FIGHT with state legislator, governor back in early 80's and WON, DEFEAT the politicians! :)
