I just happened to stumble on this Memory page while googling some images of Union High School. A picture of Mr. Brinks and his Super-B popped up. I clicked on it at in brought me to this page. I remember all of the pictures of that car that he had in his class. After having Mr. Brinks as a teacher I developed an interest and love of turtles. I was lucky enough to be on staff with Mr. Brinks during my first year that I taught at Union. I will really miss him. Every time I see a turtle, I think of him and his class.
I had Mr. Brinks for calc I just found out now that he passed 5 years later I really liked him as a teacher and he will be missed.
