Me. Fairchild was my Drivers Ed teacher in the summer of 1979 at summer school for EDHS. Every in his class thought we got the best of the deal, as he often told stories of his daring youth. He was extremely proud of his 1972 Nova that he drove like a high school kid. He was also proud of his beer collection sign, that I never got to see, but was able to donate a Bitburger Pilz light up sign from Germany too.
Mr. Fairchild will be fondly remembered by hundreds if not thousands of students, after a 49 year teaching career.
