My condolences...a truly great teacher. I too was a member of the RHS class of '82. Mr. Yeaw always greeted us with a smile. He cared about us as individuals and challenged us in a positive way. He inspired me in many ways: I majored in English, wanted to teach because he saw something in me. I also am a passionate advocate for the environment. He inspired me in many ways; and my interests in the environment; Fan of the Red Sox. I only now realize what a huge impact he had on me and the choices I made in life. I too teach English in Newport Schools, theater advisor and a steward of the environment . I wish I connected with him while he was alive to thank him for all he did for me (and all his students). Job well done Mr Yeaw! I will do my best to uphold his standards of a truly great teacher.
