Superintendent's Blog

It was a good day today.  I got to spend some of it thinking about this community and one of the people who is a role model for how we should treat each other.  I attended the funeral of Ray Page and it was one more reminder to me of what a great place this truly is and why.

The United Methodist Church was full as we heard stories of Ray's life and how he made an impact on his family, his school and his community.  People from all walks of life were there - some who were close to home and others who traveled.  All there to say good-bye to Ray and what he represents. 

Several members of Ray’s family spoke and a common theme which resonated was that Ray took time for people – he truly cared about others.  And you know – that what it is about this community.  There are a lot of Ray Pages out there - taking time for others – caring about what happens.  Thanks Ray – You set a great example for all of us and we won't forget it.
