Lonn and I taught ABE/GED at Gateway some time ago. Turned out we were both WIU graduates and had friends in common. . . small world! He was a great guy with a heart of gold and a good story teller with a contagious laugh! I will miss him. Our earth will be a little sadder because he is no longer walking with us. -Janis Hauptly-
