BHS graduate Bart Morrick commented, “I was in Brad’s first class of students in 1976. He sparked a lifetime of interest in history/politics for me...Brad made a huge impact on me- he got me involved in coaching which I did at various levels from the time I graduated until today. He taught me time management and organizational skills that I use to this day.”
