  2. I am sorry to hear of his passing. I had Mr. Dague as a teacher when I was in the 5th grade. He was great, first time many of us had the opportunity to eat different “food” from other countries, also making the USA out of paper mache onto plywood. He loved his students and will be missed.

  3. I was just thinking of about my favorite professors at John Carroll, and Dr. Dague was at the top of the list. You gave me insights about education and life that have served me well throughout the decades. God Bless Dr. Dague and rest your soul.
