Today is a sad day.
Mr. Price has passed away.
Robert Price spent many years as a teacher at San Angelo Central High School. That is where I met him. That is where I remember him-in his classroom, sharing his knowledge and his love of science with hundreds of high school students.
I remember more of Mr. Price's lessons than any of those from my other teachers. And just about every Central student, whether they had to...er...make that GOT to attempt it or not, knew of his famous "bug project."
The greatest thing that he shared with me was passion for science and specifically for biology. You see, I earned my college degree in biology. Mr. Price was my first biology teacher. He was the man who truly introduced me to the discipline. More importantly, he was the first to instill a love of biology in me-a love for a study that would eventually become my college major.
I had heard recently that Mr. Price was having health problems. Sadly, in the years since I graduated, I have only seen and spoken with Mr. Price a handful of times. I regret that.
Now, he is gone.
So, I just have a few things that still need to be said.
Mr. Price, for the last time, from one biology lover to another, thank you.
And goodbye sir.
