In seventh grade, I attended Mr. (Miles) Johnson’s language arts class ("Stuttgart teacher dies unexpectedly," Dec. 17, Europe edition). I honestly have to say his class was the most enjoyable out of all my 80-minute classes.

Unfortunately I had to move to the Netherlands, and I no longer saw Mr. Johnson. I recently heard of his passing and remain in total shock.

I always remembered and will remember Mr. Johnson as one of the best teachers Department of Defense Dependents Schools-Europe has ever had and will ever have. I truly miss him.
