Guest Book

I knew Mr. Minor for 16 years while I worked at PVHS - He was a fantastic person that I admired the entire time I worked with him. I would stop whatever I was doing to help him and he would do the same for me. I enjoyed our talks too. I have thought about many times over the last 25 years. Thomas Fox

My friend, James Minor, was a valuable and trusted member of the staff of Park View High School for many years and through several principals. His smile and humor will be missed by all who knew him. I hope the fishing in Heaven is good! Eddie Crowder
