View all 2 ReflectionsChris was one of the greats! He lightened the room while coaxing the best out of those around him. A rare combination of empathy, humor, intelligence, and tactics that only come along once in a great while. While he is no longer physically present in our walls, he continues to provide a model for achievement for our department, and will live on through his influence in Grand Island.
