Cedarville Magazine, Fall 2015

Who made a difference in your life for Christ during your 1,000 days at Cedarville University? That’s the question that went out over email and social media this summer, and the response was tremendous in its variety and sincere in its depth. Check out these responses. Maybe you’ll be reminded of someone who touched your life deeply. Early ’60s … Charlie and Betty Tartar , he in maintenance, she in the dining hall. But their home was ALWAYS a haven for us homesick freshmen. And they always had fresh popcorn and an encouraging word. DAVID WOODMAN ’65 Chuck [McKinney, former Director of Food Service], you gave me a GREAT job for four years!! Long live the hairnets and the dish pit. BECKY (KLOPP) INMAN ’87 As Mainers, my husband and I were always blown away by the annual gatherings at the Dewhursts’ ! We weren’t his students, but Tim and his family went above and beyond to make the students from New England feel a little less homesick. MICHELLE (CORNING) WHEELER ’02 Ves Rieches ’11 with Thomas Mach ’88 I will always remember the day Thomas Mach ’88 , department chair and professor in the history department, said, “I am never too busy to meet with you.” He is one of the best examples of an educator I have ever had. I am thankful for our friendship that remains today. Patricia (Cook) Kreuger ’66 with Dale Thomson ’56, Donald Baumann, Daniel Wetzel, Floyd Elmore ’77, and Bert Frye I would like to thank Dale Thomson ’56, Donald Baumann, Daniel Wetzel, Floyd Elmore ’77 , and Bert Frye for all their support and encouragement during the three years I was secretarial support for the science department. There were times I was tired and pressured with classes at both Cedarville and Central State, and they gave me time to catch my breath. They also taught me science lessons I was able to use later when I taught in Africa. 14 | Cedarville Magazine
