    Mr. Neal was my 7th grade computer teacher and a totally nice guy when he came to teach at Borah. I don’t think any of us would have expected something from such a nice guy.

    Ron Neil was a great teacher and well liked by all of his students. He shouldn’t be judged based on just one instance.
