Richard Walters (Teacher)

Mr. Richard Walters

by Magda Wilson Houtz

I was looking in the memorial section of our website and found the name of teacher Richard Walters. I am so sorry I never connected with him after high school. I believe he went on to teach college. I was lucky enough to have him for History my senior year.

This teacher had my number. He KNEW I had no interest in school and was just putting in time until I left for Miami University. So he put me to work, and work I did for him. Lots of work and study. He was great! Mr. Walters had the best personality and was a very talented teacher. His “Message TO Garcia” still is with me today.

What a wonderful soul he was. I am sure that wherever he is he has a smile and a kind word for those around him.
