I am saddened to learn of the passing of Richard McPartland. He was a wonderful math and science teacher for our class at Taneytown Jr-Sr High School and we all have special memories of him. He also coached our JV basketball team when I was in 10th grade and was an outstanding coach. His dedication to quality teaching is unquestionable. Sincere condolences to his wife and family.
