this adjournment is in memory of john joseph mccaffery, retired from the school district, who passed away on february 24th at the age of 82. he was educated in the mission district. he graduated from s.i. high school and st. marry's college of college. he served two years in the army. for 38 years he taught at galleleo high school. one of the students he coached was actually myself in basketball. as an educator and coach he took great pride in helping thousands of students better themselves through work in the classroom and on the field. his greatest honor, though, was the love and respect of the numerous students whom he influenced over his life in education. whenever i ran into him over the years after i graduated from high school, he would always ask about many of my friends who also played basketball. it always amazed me that through the years, whether it was 10 years later or 20 years later, he still could remember who he coached. i remember him as a very positive person when he was my coach and also a teacher, too.
