I was looking through a High School Classmates online group, and saw my history and Seminary teacher Brother Aagard. I was in the class of 1968. We were a very transient family and only lived in Billings for a few months, but Brother Aagard was so kind to me at Billings Senior High School and at Seminary. He seemed to know that things were hard at home for me and he make me feel of value. I have never forgotten him and how kind he was to me. I remember him being so upset with me in history class one day as the class was passing around some polaroid pictures of someone's uncle mooning someone. Brother Aagard noticed them being passed just as they got to me. Caught red handed looking at off colour photos. lol He said, "Clara I am so disappointed in you". I felt so badly that I had disappointed him by looking at the mooning man. But he forgave me. I am sad to see that he died ten years ago. But I wanted to let his family know how much his kindness meant to me.
