Oh my. I wish I knew earlier and could have shared a few thoughts sooner. After teaching in Schenectady for over 30 years I had a unique perspective on what makes a successful administrator and educator. Matthew was one of the best at both.

He championed my professional pursuits, he was flexible when I was fickle, he urged me to teach to my strengths. I’m so sorry, Nora. As you know, your Dad was the real deal. His legacy lingers in the hearts and minds of the countless students and teachers with whom he shared his journey.
