" In 1969-70 I was fortunate to have Mr. Davis as my Business Law teacher at Napa High. He was intelligent, funny, and interesting and made the class interesting as well.
He had the personality that made him someone to remember, and I was saddened to read of his passing. MY sincere condolences to his family.
He definately made a difference, and he will be greatly missed. "
