Links provided to top Turner Report/Inside Joplin posts for the week

Those special people who take on the challenge of teaching our children often provide lessons and memories that last long after the students leave their classrooms.

That was certainly the case with my former Diamond Middle School colleague Larry Augustine, who died earlier this week.

My post "Remembering Larry Augustine" was by far the most visited post on the Turner Report this week, while Mr. Augustine's obituary topped Inside Joplin Obituaries.
