Who influenced you most during High School?

I think Mr. Frakes.  He had us memorize a lot of Shakespeare and made his classes both interesting and challenging.

One of my best is of being in the acapella choir with Mr. Eph Ehly who eventually got his PhD and taught at a music conservatory after he left SHS.

I always loved animals, and animal welfare has been particularly important to me the last 30 years.

 

What are some life lessons you'd like to share with students today?

Listen to your best teachers and the adults who want you to succeed, and if you are not interested in college, pick a vocational school and pursue something of interest that you can earn a living doing.
