I remember Mr. Bailey as a caring, soft-spoken teacher (I guess there was no need for a raised voice with "Old Betsy" nearby). While this photograph shows more gray hair than I recollect, the smile is one I saw often and remember well.
Rosemore Junior High School had a lot of outstanding teachers the two years I was there. Without a doubt, Mr. Bailey was one of the "best of the best." He challenged us, encouraged us, provided us with the opportunity to learn - and did it all with grace and good humor.

Don Bell, faculty 1958-1991
To this day I still call him Mr. Wesler, because I had the utmost respect for this man. He was one of the teachers that I will always remember.
I'll never forget the high school years and how he always encouraged me to stick with it and do my best at a time when I was ready to give up. He will be missed by so many people.
A few years ago, we had a band reunion for the people who were there during the time that we called the Wesler years. We had such a great turnout, and Mr. Wesler was very pleased and honored that so many people cared.
