Sorry to hear about Mr. Mezick. He was my DCT teacher my senior year. Mr. Mezick did enjoy the Baker Luncheons as well as other Baker events. I was honored to dance with Mr. Mezick at the 2014 Baker Reunion. Sending prayers and condolences to all. Rest in peace. See you again some day.

This gentleman is the reason I graduated. If not for his understanding of my pecular sitiuation I would have been one of those forced out of school and into the work force, I only wish he knew what it did for me and my future. Many thanks Paul Mezick, may God find that special place for men like you.
