5 years ago I posted about John Mattie, amazing guy, WW2 fighter pilot... and that after the war, he became a teacher. Today I got a comment from one of his students!

John Mattie was my 6th grade social studies teacher at Marbrook Elementary school. He was also my scout leader at St Catherines, Troop 919. 

He was a great teacher and leader of our troop. I never knew about his distinguished flying career, but he often told us about his days as a POW. I will remember Mr Mattie as a great American hero.
