I am truly sorry to hear this.....Dr. Myles was my principal at Provine High School. He was a wonderful principal and a great man! If there were more principals like him nowadays, our schools would definitely be a better place for kids. My prayers are with his family..... May God give them peace in knowing he is in a better place and not suffering. Sincerely, Maria Stein
