ReplyDeleteHarold Wood taught 5th grade & lead a Boy Scout troop for over 30 yrs.
Always positive,always helping anyone in need.
His influence will continue to have an impact on generations to come.
I am blessed to have worked with Harold from 1976 to 1987 as Alma middle school principal.
WE thank you for your dedication, gentle but firm style with our 10 yr old children, including with my son in 5th grade. Several of those children also became educators.
