Bill Densmore (’58, ’69 M.S.), Dallas. He taught history, as well as photography and student leadership, in Dallas ISD for 37 years. His love for history extended to the Munger Place neighborhood in East Dallas where he grew up, and he wrote two books about it -- earning the title of the “oldest new urbanist” from the Lakewood Advocate. During the Korean War, he was a U.S. Marines drill instructor. Former students often would go up to him on the streets and say “Mr. Densmore, you probably don't remember me” -- but he did.
