Mr. Kossoris
It is a sad day in the Hein household. My favorite teacher of all-time, Mr. Tom Kossoris, died on May 31st. I just got word this morning. Mr. Kossoris was my History, Government, Political Science, and Economics teacher. He got me interested in Political Science, Economic, and Law. He played a big part in me pursuing a career in Law.
He was a great teacher and mentor. One story I have about him is a lesson in having principles. As I satated, I had him for multiple courses and thus multiple semesters. His grading curve was that 90+ was an A, 80 - 90 a B, and so on. In addition, he would bump you up to an A if you got a 89.5 or higher.
Twice, I got 89.4 in his courses. And twice, I got Bs. I pleaded with him both times, but he stood firm by his rules.
Rest in Peace, Big Daddy K.
