I truly enjoyed Mr. Akin's calculus class.  He was an excellent teacher who knew how to reach his students and get them to not only learn but to seek to improve themselves.  May he rest in eternal peace.

I had Mr Akin for geometry and he was a math teacher who explained math in a way you could understand. Always engaged with his students. Great teacher.
