The public schools bring the community together and make it more vibrant. I feel that this is an excellent opportunity to serve the community by serving on the Board of Education.

I've seen different schools and interacted with different disciplines.

We felt that we needed to formalize the process for naming schools. The community has an opportunity to be involved. I personally think it has worked extremely well. . . . I hope that future boards will continue to use the same format.

Everyone tells me that I shouldn't have retired. I guess in a way I haven't ­ I enjoy taking classes and volunteering.

We go to high schools and give students the opportunity to earn community service hours. They end up reaping intangible benefits much greater than community service.
