To the Pierson family: I was saddened today to read of the passing of Mr. Pierson. Like so many others I have memories of Mr. Pierson's social studies class at Pine Bush. One of my most vivid memories, one I still speak of today, was his quizzes that came from reading a portion of the New York Times. The questions could come from the summary page, the front page, or any other page. You never knew!!! Of course he was working to get his students to take an interest and learn about current events. It worked, and to this day when I read it I still remember those quizes and what he did for all of us. I've been away from PB for a number of years and had heard that Mr. Pierson was suffering from Alzheimers. I wish you all comfort in the knowledge he is no longer suffering. He touched many lives. Please know that many of us will always think of him fondly and that he left his mark. My deepest sympathies to you all.
