David, I heard the news of Mr. C's passing . He was a very important part of my memories at Clearview. He was the basketball coach as well as principal. I called him back several years ago to thank him for the memories, and I saw him at the Beverly Nursing Home in Martinsville where I was visiting my mother and he was visiting his mother. God Bless.

Re: Mr. Harold B. Cumberledge Has Passed Away |
I remember Mr. Cumberledge well. He was our next door neighbor, which made it really difficult to skip school. I didn't know he had taught, since my memories were of him as the Principle at Cleveland Ave. Mavahi in '69. That was the year Albert Harris and MHS integrated . . . and with the help of educators like Mr. Cumberledge and Mr. Finley (may God bless them both), I think MHS stood out as a great example of what can be accomplished by working together to find solutions, versus tearing each other down.
I feel privileged to have been a MHS graduate under both these fine men.
May God bless them both. |
