I was fortunate to have a good man like you as a teacher, coach, mentor, colleague and friend.

Chuck was the nonpareil definition of a ‘good man’. His was a life well lived and I’m happy to have known him.

thank you Mr Benshetler
My whole life I have had little crazy ideas of how to get something accomplished. The men in this program allowed me to learn that I could create as well as dream. Electrical, metal and wood projects under a guiding eye. I still use my wooden slat fruit tray. It should still be a part of every school program. My career has been a success thanks in great part to the confidence gained in these classes.
