Friend and Mentor

Fred Puskas
Fred was a teacher in the Detroit Public School system and played football when he was younger.  Fred was kind man who gave me invaluable advice in terms of dealing with the everyday frustrations of teaching at a college level.  Fred passed away earlier this year.  He was married to Martha and was step-father to my friend Becky.  Rest in peace, Fred.  You were a great man.
