Just this past week, Mr Ghegan has been on my mind. Then a friend emaied me his obituary. It saddened me deeply. "Better living through Chemistry" The first day of school senior year, AP Chemistry, last period of the day. We had been through a day of AP classes and were given gigantuan homework assignments in history, english, calculus, so when Mr Ghegan said :Your assignment for tomorrow is to memorize the periodic table", we all started writing it down. He looked around and looked totally astonished. He said " Hey, I was ony kidding". and all of us, including him, breathed a sigh of relief. He was one of the greatest teachers and a wonderful person. I am blessed for having an opportunity to know him and learn from him. He inspired me to become a Chemical Engineer, which I did. My deepest condolences to his famiy. I know he will be sorely missed.
