Most baby boomers who went to school in West Sacramento will remember Elmer Reuter as the prinicipal of Westmore Oaks School from 1952-1981. He was a great teacher and friend to many folks in our area and his old fashioned discipline style commanded respect from both his students and their parents. He spent many hours caring for the plants and shrubs he planted at his school. He was truly one of our home-town heros. ~Barbara

First, my apologies for a bit of cut and paste commenting. I have been doing the rounds via Bloglines and looking at all the pictures from my favourite photo blogs, but haven’t been leaving comments. Generally, I try to comment as much as I can (I know how good it is for ‘morale’ to know that someone is out there appreciating them), but after the birth of my second son, I am a bit knackered to think up something witty and insightful on the hop. Thus the resort to Control+C and Control+P!

By "old fashioned" you mean beatings and public humiliation right? Lets not mince words.
