Remembering R. S. Brackman: A Principal’s Impact on Quincy High School
“Mr. Brackman was the principal when my dad taught at QHS from 1931 to 1944 and was still the principal when my Class of 1957 was the last one to graduate from the old building at 14th and Maine. I always enjoy remembering those who made a big impact on me. We used to call Mr. Brackman ‘Old Baldy’, and while he could be strict when necessary, he was usually a very pleasant person. My parents liked him and his wife Bess very much, and he was always very good to me when I was a student,” said Dr. John Sallstrom ‘57.
