Hi, and condolences to the Miera family. I remember this man as a teacher but what he imparted more of was about life, things that you can’t read about in a book. He shared thoughts about his time in WWII, he demonstrated his respect for you as a human, and I think, a strong philosophy of goodness. He reflected contentment with his smile and positive outlook about his life. I have not seen him in years but am glad to have known him. Many of us can cherish the memory of a few good mentors like Mr. Felix Miera. Thank you.

Condolences to the Miera family on the loss of your father. Knew him from my1 year @ Taos Junior Hi as a 9th grader, though I never had him as a teacher. Knew his family, especially Felix Jr, as we were both in the same grade thru our high school days @ Taos High School, and graduating in 1966. Reunited with Felix Jr again when we both transferred to New Mexico Highlands Univ in Las Vegas, New Mexico, Felix going into Science classes and me into Chemistry and Math classes. Have NOT heard from or about Felix since one of our THS reunions..
