I remember Me. Drobnicki as a fun full of facts biology teacher. My fondest memory when he was trying to teach us the names of all the birds on a colorful chart. He had a passion for teaching and looking back he was patient, funny and kind. He always tried to engage the class in his daily lessons. I remember your kindness as your best quality.
