Mr. Long was a fantastic teacher an motivator. I enjoyed my years in the Student Council an the many trips to Green Lake council camps with him as our chaperone/mentor. A lot of my success can be linked to his belief in me. Thanks for believing in me an all your students.

Mr. Long suspended me during my senior year at Neenah High. I was doing the announcements over the PA in homeroom. The Milwaukee Bucks were having a great year so I always announced their score from the night before. Mr. Long told me that had nothing to do with NHS and said he would suspend me if I continued. Well, I continued. He suspended me for a week which seemed like a month! Best and fairest principal I ever had ; a great educator and role model.

It was such a pleasure to be with Al at Our Saviors. A remarkable Christian presence. He touched everyone with Gods grace. Prayers no blessings to all.

My condolences to the family. I knew "Mr. Long" as my Principal back at Shattuck High
(1975-1976)
I always knew him as being very fair. And I'll never forget the plaid suit that he occasionally wore!
I then reconnected with "Al" last year at the Neenah Club. We talked, joked and had a laugh about that suit!
