I know I was especially a pain in your butt but I’m glad you did put up with me!  Thanks to you I love history! One of the highlights of my job is being able to visit and see a lot of the historical sites you used to talk about in class. You’ve had the patience of a saint and know it IS appreciated! To many more years of teaching Mister Brasher! Thank you!

We mentioned this quote over and over again and it has shaped much of how I think today (22 years later). So saying thank you is kind of miserable compared to what I received from all those hours closely listening to you. Oh, and I still owe you a few Doors tapes 😉

I hold very fond memories of your history lessons and our small chats between classes, you were always keen to listen to what us young'ens had to say and what our views on the world were. I went on to study History for my bachelor's and thought of you often during my studies, not only for what you taught in class but also for your good values. I wish you all the best!

Siempre que he hablado contigo, con tu inconfundible acento, he tenido frente a mi a un californiano de raices profundas. Un californiano que me aconsejó magníficamente en la organización de un viaje por aquella costa oeste. 
Estar prestando hoy - en los tiempos que corren- 25 años en la enseñanza es un gran mérito. ¡Pocos se atreven y lo logran!. Para ello se tiene que ser correspondido por sus alumnos y eso ocurre contigo. Te felicito. 
Has de saber que siempre te he considerado un buen y reservado compañero. 
Suerte de aquí en adelante y recibe un fuerte abrazo
Javier Iranzo
