Stanley Sheggeby

Ramona I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Sending you lots of thoughts and prayers for comfort during this time of loss. Joyce Hessefort

We will miss Stan at the Pizza Ranch. We looked forward to his visits! Ramona, you are in our prayers. Tom, Erin and the crew.

After his master's, Stan taught at Malta, MT for his first year as a teacher, then did a telephone interview with Cooper Jr. High School in Fresno, California, and got hired and taught there for 13 years from the fall of 1968 to the spring of 1981. ----------------- I really appreciated having Mr. Sheggeby as my geometry teacher in 9th grade at Cooper! We loved him for taking a hands-off approach and allowing us gifted students to work independently at our own pace. My favorite memory is of one of the girls who was a cheerleader, going to the back of the room where he sat at his desk, physically taking him by the hand and dragging him to the front of the class to teach us how to do proofs in geometry! He taught us how to do it and we were satisfied. Of course, we would continually get up to go ask him questions, individually. He also allowed us to vote as a class on what we wanted to do with our special $500 Mentally Gifted Minors (MGM) fund for our class. We could either buy calculators with the money (that future students would be able to use) or spend the money on a visit to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena. Of course, we voted to go on a field trip to visit the JPL and we loved it. This was 1977 and the control room there at JPL listed "1989" as the year Voyager 2 would arrive at the planet Neptune. Wow, it seems like so, so far into the future... Thank you, Mr. Sheggeby, for everything! Sincerely, Brian Riley Davis, California brian dot riley at yahoo dot com
