I was lucky enough to have had Mr. Shipway for Algebra 2/Trig and then for Calculus back in the mid-70's. While I truly enjoyed his classes, I would have never dreamed that he would have such a profound impact on my life. I began teaching math in 1981 and I am still teaching today and I patterned much of my teaching style after his. I even found a copy of our trig book at a yard sale once and I pull it out several times a year and tell my students how Mr. Shipway used to teach us logarithms or how to calculate trig functions all without a calculator. My condolences to his family and I can only thank God that he was my math teacher.
