I remember when Leon received an award for his work with GED students at Richland. We could tell that he was embarrassed about the recognition, but we at Richland all knew that he deserved this special attention. His concern for students and their achievements was obvious to us all. He will be missed.Teena Zindel-McWilliamsRichland Community College
To the Fonville and Hack families, our hearts are grieving with you and for you. The Spence family grew up loving both of these families. God Bless you. Sylvia Spence-Rowe.
