    I dearly wish I had learned sooner of Mr. Klinkhammer’s passing so I could have been at the service. I was a student of his in the Fall of 1975 when he was teaching a Science Fiction class at Katella High School in Anaheim. It was my favorite class and he was one of my favorite teachers. We also shared the same birthday. We kept in touch for awhile after I graduated in ’76. My heart is sad that his beautiful soul is no longer with us. But I know he is with Jesus now and I pray God will comfort all of his loved ones.

    Thinking of you at this time.
