QUINTESSENTIAL PERSON®

Honoring John Snow

John Snow is best known in Barrington as the founding principal of the then-new Arnett C. Lines Elementary School which opened in 1978. There, his keen insights on teaching children—having raised six of his own—and his gentle manner brought calm and joy to thousands of students. He retired from this, his final career position, at 64. Yet he was a substitute teacher until age 90.

Barrington’s First Mid Mod Home Tour is in October.
