Great teacher. When I ran across his name on this site, it all came back. He was so energetic and interested in getting kids to listen.

Back in 1972 I remember "Mr Shackleton" for a comment or self evaluation that he considered himself to be a "non-groupist". This self evaluation is so simple and yet profound, that I remember it to this day. That describes me in a nutshell! Thank you Mr Shackleton.
