I was blessed to have (then) Mr. McNeill as my teacher at Audubon Junior High School in Los Angeles in the early 60's. He was amazing. In Girls Glee and later Choir (that you had to audition to get in the class!) middle school kids in a multicultural neighborhood learned about singing, performing and deportment. If he caught any of us chewing gum on campus he would call us out on it! Even today, and I only buy gum at the airport for takeoff and landing, I think "Uh oh - Mr. McNeill would not like this." We all adored him.
