So sorry to learn of Mr Murdock's passing. He was loved by all of his students. I was fortunate enough to have him as principal of my school (Hannan Trace class of 62) thru over half of my school career. He was a wonderful man. Condolences to Mrs. Murdock and all of the family, may God be very near you at this sad time.

Mrs. Murdock and family, I graduated from Hannan Trace High School in 1962. If you remember, I called you last year about a class reunion, but we never did have it. Mr. Murdock was one of the nicest and most caring people I have ever met. I will never forget him. I have thought of him many times over the years. He loaned Janet Montgomery and I $5.00 each so we could join the Beta Club (Honor Society) which we were nominated for, because we did not have the money. We paid him back from our first paycheck out of High School. Mr Murdock was a blessing to all of us. My heart goes out to you for your great loss. I will never forget our Washington, DC and New York City senior trip!!
