Motta was a angry, vengeful man. Speaking facts are not speaking ill of the dead. I know that he made my life very difficult as I pursued an East Coast private school education en route to becoming an attorney and educator in New York, California and througout the world. People that also knew him have written to me and said, "Just desserts." I am willing to face my Karma for comments like this but I cannot not stand by and let the man be glorified. He went out, it seems, appropriately, trying to impose an archaic, egocentric misunderstanding of his surrounding on those who just wanted to learn and live. The man should not be celebrated. The taking of lives is terrible but I cannot help to think that as you live by the sword, so to shall you die by it. I condemn Frank Motta and his killer. Farnk J. Motta was a angry, vengeful man.

His word was his bond, a quality often lacking in other administrators I have known. He did not tolerate laggards in the classroom, were they student or teacher.He admired the responsible teacher, the educator who actually taught, the teacher who was more than a mere purveyor of information, the teacher providing the student with preparation for higher education and life. Frank Motta was a man for all seasons. I shall remember him in all my prayers.John Bowman, Teacher Frank Motta was one of the best principals for whom I worked in my 40 years of high school teaching.

I didn't know him but know he must have been an important part of 'my generation' as they stepped into adulthood. I also want to comment on the heartful ways in which Mr. Tamburrino writes about beloved Ramona community members. Even though I don't live there anymore, it helps 'bring me home.'
