Mr. Hall was my math teacher when I arrived in Tatum in the mid 70s. He was a brilliant man and an excellent teacher. He introduced me to the math competition in Number Sense and Slide Rule. Together we traveled to many competitions in East Texas and in Austin. At that time, I thought it was fun traveling with Mr. & Mrs. Hall, but now looking back I think he shaped me as a person (learning to respect others and to act humble) as well as built up my academic foundation that allowed me to successfully continue my academic pursuit at Rice University after graduating from Tatum High.
Now, working as a professor at the Air Force Academy, I appreciate his teaching style even more than ever.
In my opinion, Mr. Hall was a great man and an excellent teacher. He will be missed.
My condolences to Mrs. Hall for this loss.
