To family,
We have known Mr Wenzel most of our lives. What a generous heart he had! I have heard so many say what a " great " teacher he was! Mr Wenzel gave his life to this county and students! So many students benefited by his generosity! Most didn't know what he did that is true greatness! You will be missed!

I talked to Charlie constantly in the hallways and his room about politics, auctions, sports, and whatever he wanted to pontificate on. He was down to earth and approachable, so I liked having exchanges with him whenever our paths crossed. He won some aluminum foil at an auction and gave it to me when he found out I needed it.

Hello! My name is Adrianna. I was in your PE class for elementary. You gave me a pair of white, new-looking shoes. I still have them even though they don’t fit anymore.
I wish I had more chances to speak with you in person. Mrs. Becky Newton speaks very highly of you and we love to hear the stories she tells.
