Mr. Humphris was my Health Education teacher at Southlands Highschool in Chorley, Lancashire. His was the only class I ever looked forward to. He was a great teacher with a wonderful sense of humour. It's been over 50 years, life took many turns and I eventually moved to the States. His influence had a hand in steering me to join the US Army and become a combat medic and Army nurse. He'll always be remembered. Thanks Mr. Humphris, may you rest in peace. Warm condolences to Ann and everyone who loved him.
