Mr. Post was the nicest Gym teacher that I ever had! He never got upset with any of us, which was quite an accomplishment since most of us were little smart asses! He used to tell the girls that if they wanted to get out of Gym class to make sure that they didn't use their period as an excuse more than once a month, LOL! He also played the guitar and sang in a band called "Friends". He was a really cool guy!
Here's a picture that I found of him in the 1972 Pocono Central Catholic School Yearbook:
Here's his obituary from today's Pocono Record online:
James "Jim" William Post
January 13, 2014
Jim
was born Nov. 9, 1947, in East Stroudsburg, and was the son of Richard
W. and Printa Bernice (Johnson) Post. He was married to Kathleen
(Sokolowski) Post. They celebrated their 36th anniversary this past
October. He was a 1965 graduate of Pocono Mountain High School and a
1969 graduate of Penn State University.
Jim
was a physical education teacher at Pocono Central Catholic, performed
in the 1970s throughout the Poconos in a band called "Friends," and then
was a rural letter carrier, first in Henryville and then in
Saylorsburg. He was an avid golfer and enjoyed playing in several
recreational baseball leagues in the area.
In
addition to his wife, he is survived by his daughter, Danielle Post and
her husband Timothy Schehl, of Cincinnati, Ohio. His son, James W. Post
Jr., predeceased him. He is also survived by a brother, Robert A. Post
and his wife, JoAnn, of Farmington Hills, Mich.; and sister, Linda Post
Bushkofsky and her husband Dennis, of Oak Park, Ill. He is also survived
by several nieces and nephews.
Private services were held for the family.
I was so sorry to hear of his death today and am praying for him and his family!
Rest in peace, Mr. Post! You are an unforgettable teacher!
