    I hope I have the correct person. Mr Breen was my seventh grade geography teacher. I know he drove an MG in fact I believe he had two. He was a stand out teacher in my mind as he truly enjoyed teaching (at least he convinced me). I remember him being of small stature with prominent glasses. He brought geography alive for me. I am now 65 but I have never forgotten him.

    Many wonderful MG trips with Jack. Oh the experiences we have had and the stories we have heard and told! Great evenings together with Jack and with Lou. They are part of some great times together. I am so glad that we formed the wonderful friendships and have the terrific memories. Rest in peace, Jack.
