Anthony J.W. Benson’s Honors:
"Dear Anthony,
Thank you for speaking with my group of students at Wheeling High School. Your vast life experiences provided my high school students with a learning opportunity.
You addressed very personal, real, and difficult situations that are relevant to my students’ lives and perhaps similar in some ways to their own lives. They can take what you gave them through your openness and honesty to look at their own lives, past and present, and make choices that will empower them for a lifetime.
Again, I truly appreciate the time, energy, and talents you shared with us."
Janet Aschenbrener
