LOL.

Okay, I'll guess Tenor Sax or Trumpet.

Actually...tuba...

This is actually sadder than I thought. I mean, I don't care about HIM specifically but he recently got married. And considering his wife, I'm sure she's just absolutely devastated.

I know what he plays and I know the guy. And I'm leaving it at that...

I've kept mum on this thread because I personally know a teacher (not this one) who was arrested just about a year ago on molestation charges stemming from incidents that allegedly happened in the mid 1990's, but Ryan brings up a good point so I'll break my silence. My friend's wife and one of his children are school adminstrators and/or teachers. It has had an absolutely horrible effect on the entire family's reputation even though they were not involved. I'm not saying what he did was right ... only that we don't know the entire story or circumstances and his family is being punished in effect for his discretions.

On a separate related tangent, I've played an online game with a guy for 6 years. His nephew logged on last week with "Fred is in jail". End of message. After googling it I found out he was arrested in March and charged with over 100 counts of various molestation related events. He took a plea bargain of 25 years with no hope of parole making him 71 when he is released. Again, you never REALLY know people.

Thank you for the update--she's had enough crap and stress in her life as it is.

Overfelt HS's website still lists him in the Performing Arts section but he's been deleted from the Staff Directory.
An aside...Is Overfelt some sort of small magnet school? Maybe I didn't search correctly but I could find no links to band or athletics.

It's just a normal high school, the third oldest in the East Side Union High School District.

There is an athletics website:
