For those of us boys who attended GW Junior High School there was one teacher everybody had all three years: Mr Tice Chase. He passed away on June 11th 2012. No surprise that he lived to be 86 since he was always in shape, and that was his job as our Gym Teacher and Coach. Long after he retired he could still do a one-handed push up, much to the surprise of people who met him in the local gym.
As far as teachers being scene as role models for children, Mr Chase exemplified this in spades. There was nothing he ever asked us to do that he wouldn't do himself. He led a life that was dedicated to showing us how to take care of ourselves, mind and body. He will be missed.
