All of the new construction going on has taken a toll on a large amount of our shurbbery around the school. Our former President, Bob Diles has worked extremely hard to save a lot of the plants that had been put out over the years by loyal parents. One of those men who worked hard was my close friend and encouragement in the early days of the school was Dr. Gene Word. Dr. Word passed on and really never got to see what he had done in making the campus beautiful. Bob Diles, even though being retired (pictured here) has saved a lot of the plants by relocating them. He has done this on his own because he has that genuine love for CAC and led it through the main growing years.
