Mr. Hunter taught 11th grade English at Osceola High with a gentle passion for literature. He introduced us to Melville and Thoreau, and in doing so he taught me how to read the world more deeply. I’m grateful for his patience and encouragement.
I regret not having the chance to reconnect in his retirement and thank him properly.
