This clipping from The Tulsa World Sept. 20 1995 was in one of my old files. Thought I might share it here for posterity.
Jack Dobelbower was definitely a teacher of the old school, and quite unapologetic about it. He taught math at Edison since it opened in 1955 until his retirement in 1986.
Two facts about his life impressed me. One was that he and his wife married three weeks after they met. Dobe was not big on indecision. And if I’m not mistaken, the Dobelbowers opened their house and took in quite a number of foster and/or adoptive children. You’d have thought that he’d had enough of kids on his day job.

He was a hard-ass! But very smart and I believe very caring. My sister Sandy had him at Edison and she was the first “girl” that ever was allowed in his trigonometry class and he kicked her butt. BUT…I must tell you she went on to be a tax accountant and is now very wealthy and still doing taxes and makes great money as a semi-retired person. He was also our advisor for our Senior Class officers and we did alright didn’t we? Thanks for sharing. I’m sure he would be glad to know he was and is remembered. Karen
