He was awarded the Outstanding Teaching Award presented by the Frederick Junior Chamber of Commerce in 1983. He also taught summer school classes for many years at the University of Maryland for teachers who wanted to become certified in special education

“Carl Emerick brought me to FCC in 1972. That was the beginning of a relationship with FCC that would last for many 40 years. I started as head coach and after retiring from that, came back as an assistant to Jack Mehl and the women’s basketball teams. When Jack retired, I did as well...and then came back again as an assistant to the men’s basketball team and David Miller, the head coach.

FCC has been a major part of my life. I have met so many fine young people and parents, and I have made some lasting friendships. I have many fond memories. I thank FCC for them.”
