"Mr. Hollingsworth was my 5th grade teacher. I remember him fondly. It was a great year. I can still remember playing kickball with him. He kicked one really high and far and I ran as hard as I could and caught it. He slapped his hands in frustration knowing he was out. Great times for me. He will be missed. Tim Price"
