My favorite teacher ever. He was kind he was understanding he was funny. He was accepting of our teenage high jinx. Thought of him as a father. will always be grateful to have known him.

My Latin teacher at Aragon. I have a hard time learning other languages but Mr. Leddy has 3 years to try and succeeded somewhat. I still have a couple of books, including a text, somewhere. Mr. Leddy LOVED to talk about Roman History and some days we'd get him started and he'd spend the entire class talking about Julius Caesar or some other facet. He should have taught Ancient History or at least Roman History, I still remember him fondly and kept taking the class for the inspiration he gave to me!

took four years of Latin with "Mr. Leddy"; we experienced legitimate "toga" parties as part of class projects
always cleared his throat when speaking
Great Teacher
