If I’d had a Kevin Bass for a teacher 45 years ago I might have made something of myself.
School shop teachers are my hero’s .Kevin sets a fine example of a teacher’s desire to do all they can for there students. 7 th grade i got an A in metal shop . I didnt think i knew anything , My teacher saw different. School shop classes are important . And deserve all the help they can get. Great work kevin. I am proud to know you . I will keep my eye out for the next part you may need. Way to go Teach . John
