About	Mr. Menchinger was the debate coach in 1965 at Portage Central but when Portage Northern opened in 1966, he transfered there. I was a student of his in his first year of teaching in 1965 and I kept in contact with him until he had dementia and was in a nursing home. I planned on visiting him next month - I didn't make it in time.
