I love you daddy!

I love you daddy! I miss you so very much!

  Mr O'Neal

Mr O'Neal was such a big influence to me and so many people i know. I took photography with him at MIHS & he was one of my favorite teachers. From the first day I had class with him he taught us to look at things in a whole new way. He was such an inspiration to me & i regret not telling him.  I'll never forget the things he taught me. 

Thank you so much. You will be missed very much.

 

  Mr. O'neal was...

Mr. O'Neal was my photographer teacher 9th-11th grade.  My junior year was his last teaching, and I was very sad that I didn't get to have him my senior year as well.  Mr. O'neal was one of my favorite teachers I've ever had, and probably one of the biggest influences I've had in my life.  I really regret never getting to personally thank him for everything he did for me.  If it wasn't for him I wouldn't know anything about photography, which is one of my favorite things in life.  

For everything he taught me about photography, for all the bad but humorous puns he made in class, and for all the times he made me look at things from a different angle, photographical and in life, I am forever greatful. 

I will never forget Mr. O'Neal, and will always be thankful for having him as a teacher and photographic mentor.

 

Thanks again for everything!

Thanks again for everything, Don.

I love you!
