I had the pleasure of having Mr. Worthington for a math teacher in 7th grade, as well as a General Business teacher in 8th grade. He was patient, informative and made learning fun!
I used many things that he taught me later in the workplace and in everyday life.
He was truly an intelligent and very gifted teacher. His family is in my prayers!

I had Mr. Worthington in seventh grade. He was so kind and patient with us a natural born teacher.
Thank you Mr. Worthington for trying to teach me Math and other things. I remember you sharing flying time with Mr. Satterwhite and tales of the mountains in west Texas.
Bill and I spent many days and nights together beginning in scouts trying to whittle our camping skills into something more usable in later life. Later we spent many days on water skis or in a Cessna flying on double dates, or watching a really big B-52 fly beneath us. Just being at the beach getting a super sunburn. Being dramatic creating a script for a new film that would never get made. Eating at Kip's after working and cruising around Fort Worth. Bill and I shared many youthful adventures and I consider him a lifetime best friend.
I am glad that we were able to share time together during the recent reunions and whenever I could get back to Texas. RIP my friend.
