It’s funny. Everyone in that picture left for the ASB meeting after planting one tree, while a group of us stayed behind and planted all of them.

David Dominguez is a gift to our students. He challenges them because he demands they learn and they practice what they learn. For this, some complain but many respond and rise to the next level. He mentors students and launches them to the university prepared.

Lori was a wonderful young lady and she was such a blessing to have around. She once told me if you ever complained about something needing to be done, that if Dr. Crow overheard, he would tell you to take care of it yourself. And, she did take care of things when she saw the need. She always had a ready smile. Lori will be greatly missed.

I had the privilege to work with Lori from 1998-2001 in the Public Information Office. I was a lost kid taking a class here and there not knowing where I was going. Having photography experience Lori asked me to work with her, little did I know how she would have an impact not only in my life but my family as well. I was hired, learning design along with student assistant grunt work. I believe Lori knew all along she was going to get me back in school. I came to the office one day and Lori had all my paperwork set out and said you’re taking classes cause that’s the only way you can work. I learned so much and was disappointed when I had to leave when I couldn’t take any more classes. At this time my younger sister was just out of high school and only knew of my boss Lori. Walking from the cafeteria (most likely getting her large diet Pepsi with tons of ice) not knowing her Lori stopped her and asked if she was my sister. She answered yes…Lori walked a few steps turned around and offered her a job. This is where my sister excelled and now works public relations and marketing for a book publishing company, still using skills she learned from Lori. After I left the office I was jumping from job to job when I went to visit Lori and it didn’t take long before I was registered back in school and on Saturday I graduated from Fresno State with a degree is Mass Communications and Journalism. I truly believe that without Lori giving me a chance I wouldn’t be where I am now. She always drove in my head it wasn’t how long it took, just do it! When I saw the piece done by Channel 30 I couldn’t stop my eyes from watering. Though the piece spoke of her loyalty to Reedley, there was so much more that could have been said. She truly would go the extra mile for that school. I laughed when Danny mentioned the centerpieces. I sat on the office floor so many times surrounded by babies breath and flowers. I was the one who took the photograph of Lori walking with coach Tessler with the Dr. Crow mask. They say that teachers affect the lives of their students. Though Lori was not a teacher, what I learned from her will affect me more than anything any of my professors ever taught me.

Comment on Wall of Honor by Katrina Neufeld

I had a lot of fun creating this video. It was great to comb through old photos from our Country’s past and get reacquainted with our history. The entire experience was deeply moving for me—definitely a labor of love. I want to thank SCCCD and the Wall of Honor committee for giving me the opportunity and creative freedom to honor our nation’s heritage with this video presentation.
