I will never forget Mr. Slaughter´s comforting smile and gentle personality. He inspired me to pursue my writing and just to be a better person overall. My heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and the many students whose lives he touched over the years. Rest well kind sir and be sure to bless the angels with a "Thought For The Day"...
