Mr. Lewis taught New York State History at the old Mount Markham, before the new High School was built. He was a wonderful teacher, and I still remember some of the things he taught about the Iroquois and the other tribes of that nation. When I travel the country, I always look at ridges on land and wonder if they are Native burial grounds. I remember making models of longhouses, and studying the Finger Lakes. He was very articulate. Rest in peace, Sir.
