Hello,
I am sorry that I missed the visitation for Mr. Barnett. I hadn't heard of his passing. My father, Carroll Anderson, had taught with Mr. Barnett, and he was also my metals shop teacher in high school. We also owned dogs (half shepherd, fourth husky, fourth wolf) that were brother and sister, and I always got a kick out of seeing him come to school with his arms all chewed up and bloody from "playing" with his puppy. I really enjoyed taking his classes, and his way with kids. He was one of the "old school" teachers that would joke and horse around with students and let us get away with stuff that a lot of the more "to the letter" teachers wouldn't. There aren't enough teachers like him around anymore, and that's a shame. He was one of my favorite teachers.
Best Regards,
Paul Anderson,
Kellogg
