One of the first staff members I met as a new 4th grade teacher at the Switlik School was Clarence (Buddy) Ford. He welcomed me to my new school and position. In those early years, several of the male elementary teachers went out to dinner once a month and Buddy was always a member of that group. He was a delightful, intelligent, friendly and personable man. We worked together for many years until he retired and we would often get together for lunch or dinner post retirement. I was saddened by his loss.
My wife, Linda, who also worked with Buddy joins me in honoring his life and work.
