He suffered a great deal and went through some exceptionally difficult times. However, after months in the ho pital and long hours of rehab, Mr. choolmaster began the road of recovery. For Mr. Schoolmaster: And, although the recovery time has been exten ive (and all but easy,) it is good to say that more than likely Mr. Schoolmaster will be able to come back to school next year in order to fulfill hi la t year at M.R.H.S. before retiring!
