Mr. Conroy was a favorite 4th-grade teacher at Bushey Drive ES in Wheaton, Maryland. I was in his classroom when he broke the terrible news about the assassination of our president, John F. Kennedy. A year later, he left Bushey Drive to become the principal of Lucy V. Barnsley ES. After 6th grade, we moved to Norbeck, and as I walked to Wood Junior High, Mr. Conroy would pass me in his Mustang on his way to Barnsley. It was fun getting to wave to my favorite teacher. Later, he left and went on to be the principal of Strathmore ES. I remember Mr. Conroy having a wonderful voice and including songs in our 4th grade. My first year of teachering in MCPS, was also 4th grade. I thought of the fun we had in Mr. Conroy's class when I planned lessons for my students.

I'll never forget Mr. Conroy. I attended Strathmore Elementary School in the very early 70's. He was an amazing principal. I remember him always outside, greeting the students as we arrived at school every morning. He was always impeccably dressed. I also remember him bringing his Schnauzer (maybe two?) to school some days and visiting every single class! Lol! We loved those days! He made Strathmore an amazing place to learn and I will never forget him. I am so very sorry for his loved ones.

I was a student at Strathmore Elementary School in the '70s. I have fond memories of the school, the teachers, and Mr. Conroy. My experience there is part of why I love learning to this day, and why I am a teacher myself. You've left a great legacy behind Mr. Conroy!

So sorry to learn of Ed's passing. He was a wonderful principal and kind friend. I know my children will be saddened to learn this news.

He was my mentor--the best school administrator I ever met. He was able to fit personalities into very balanced, workable teaching teams. He expected his staff to find the key that opened each child to a love of learning. He had a wide varied interest in, knowledge and love of so many things--art, music, antiques, dogs, horses, and always learning more.

I was so sorry to hear that the wonderful Ed had passed away - I have missed his and Roy's visits to london over the past few years. He will be much missed, I am sure, by all those who have been lucky enough to meet him.
