In Memorium

Doug Raisbeck died after a brief struggle with cancer Tuesday March 26. He retired two years ago after a long career in the English Department at Huntsville High. Doug came to Huntsville to teach English and Drama in 1982. His students described him as a compassionate taskmaster who refused to accept mediocrity, demanded the best, and got results. He taught students not only to find their own voice, but to use the English language with clarity and creativity. He prepared his students well for post secondary education.
