In eighth grade, Dr. Shreiner took my art along with fellow students to create a show at the lobby of our local high school. He made us feel important and inspired many. I had the good fortune of creating arts in education for the two high schools just five buildings from the former World Trade Center; just a few months after the tragic events of 9/11/01. These students did not watch these events unfold on t.v. or across town but looked up. With the idea of "Future Focus", Dr. Shreiner inspired me to create actual gallery shows that were student based and student driven. I know what a positive role model Dr. Shreiner has been for me and wanted to take a page from his book to do the same for the generation to follow. Twenty-five years after my high school graduation, I had the rare opportunity to return to my high school and personally thank Dr. Shreiner for the positive affect he had on me and the clear path he laid before me.
