Disabilities - Clark Hochstetler, Linda Ott, Wendy Palmer, Dianne Sherlock, Tim
Bigelow, Lee Fan, Dennis Lambie, Barbara Cates, Michele Mejia, Kari Hanken, Holly Hoffnung,

And a very special thanks to the students who, despite their
personal challenges, demonstrate how dreams and goals can be
accomplished if simply provided the opportunity.
