In Memory of Mr. Rupp

Dear Mr. Rupp,

I am heartbroken. You were the finest educator I have even known. You picked me up in my youth when I doubted myself. You taught me how to be a better student in every way imaginable, but most importantly you taught me how to be a better person. You showed me immeasurable kindness and support. You inspire me. The world was a better place with you in it.

Love,
Jamie

In memory, please give to Pennies for Peace.

UPDATE: 2/15/11 11:30 a.m.

Please Pray for Mr. Rupp

My dear friend and high school history teacher was injured in a motorcycle accident last night. I am very fond of Mr. Rupp as an educator, Vietnam Veteran and mentor. Please keep Mr. Rupp in your thoughts and prayers.

He suffered a head injury and several broken bones. He is at Irvine Medical Center, but can not have visitors and can not receive flowers.

In lieu of flowers, it is recommended that you contribute to a cause very close to Mr. Rupp's heart, which is "Pennies for Peace".

Visit the Orange County Register for the accident report. Check Facebook for Ruppdates or the FUHS website's Emergency Information.
