Congratulations to Mr. Bloom! It is somewhat sad to see him now in a wheelchair, but I’m also happy to know that he had such a long and distinguished career at HHS.
I remember Mr. Bloom as one of the history faculty at HHS during the mid-1950s. He had a great sense of humor, and was one of the more popular teachers at that time. I was also in his homeroom class during my junior year. He had a remarkable facility to stimulate students to think critically and apply lessons learned from the past to current issues. One of the lessons I learned from him was to always consider both sides of an issue very carefully before drawing any conclusions.
