To the editor:

Thank you, John, for your many years of service to the city and the schools.

Congratulations on your move to Alexandria Community Trust. Our loss, their gain.

Your significant accomplishments are too numerous to mention. One, that is important to us, however, is your time as principal of T.C. Williams.

You roamed and ruled the halls with discipline. You set an example for dignity, honor, hard work and trust. Our sons are better men today for having spent their years at T.C. with you as part of their growing up.

God bless, God speed and good luck. Above all, thank you.
