William Palmer commented on Volunteer Firefighter: "Thanks for sharing this. A special treat was to see the lovely offerings of Dr. Kumpikas as well. She was my homeroom teacher at HHS, and I was delighted to be able to introduce my wife to her at our 55th reunion several years ago. I hope we both convey the message that age is just a number, and we never have to stop offering our gifts to others. Bill Palmer, HHS Class of 1964"
