It was a trying time. And Leo stepped up and did very well.

It was a wonderful thing. The turnout was indicative of the tremendous love, admiration, and respect that this town has for him. It was a wonderful tribute to Leo.

Our kids do very well. The quality of our school is a reflection of Leo.

[Leo] left a wonderful legacy. He was always involved in every aspect of community. He was wonderfully community-oriented and he raised a family that way. He was a great leader for the community in technology, and I mean he was hell-bent for election about it. He was an excellent administrator, very organized. He saw to it that things got done and a lot of the time, he did it himself. He had a wonderful sense of humor and he was wonderful to work with. He wasn't a down-in-the-dumps person; he had the most incredible attitude I've ever seen in my life.

I'm really excited and happy. I've always been one who supports trying to promote from within.

The church as a whole has come to the revelation that the old ways of trying to get the gospel out don't work for the young generation. If you want people to hear the good news, you have to make it really good news.
