I don’t know if anyone will see this, but I hope so. I have been looking for James Rauhe for years because I so much wanted to thank him for giving me the best year of my life…when I was a sixth grade student at Plank Rd School in Webster, NY in 1960 to 1961. I am sad that I could not find him until now, and I can no longer thank him, but I hope this is a comfort to those who knew him and loved him. He was unquestionably, the most powerfully positive influence in my life. My saddest day was the last day of sixth grade when I knew that I would no longer see him. I have always remembered his great kindness and special caring for each of his students and all of the wonderfully creative activities that he provided for us. I am crying as I write this because he means so much to me.
With love in Christ, Cynthia (Cindy) Brennis Bernfield
