Below is the email text which the SJIS Alumni Association received from Donald Baumann remembering our teacher, Mr. John A. Wiegand who passed away in Canada on October 17, 2008 at the age of 92. He was a lay teacher who taught high school English, World History and American History from September 1949 to June l952. December 11, 2008 Hi All, Yes, Mr. Wiegand was a very dedicated teacher and a fine man. I had him as my English and History teacher in 51' and 52'. He was a tough but very fair teacher. I was a typical young high school wise guy kid at the time and he knew exactly how to handle me and it also allowed me to learn. I gained a great deal of respect for him during that time and certainly appreciated all he did as a teacher for us. I know that God will place him as one of his top teachers in his High School upstairs and have him again teach those students who need it even in Heaven. I also feel that Mr. Wiegand is watching over all of his former students down here on earth!! Best personal regards to all of you and I want to extend to you a very Merry Christmas and a Safe and Happy New Year! Don Class of 52' Donald P. Baumann
