FORWARD TWO YEARS:


When I was planning the 1996 conference program, I received a phone call from Peggy Burns, at that time an in-house counsel for a Colorado school district, who pointed out that we didn’t have an attorney on the program. I said I’d give her a try. She worked out! Of course—as she and I have done over the years—you may be chuckling at that understatement. I’m betting that there are few reading this who haven’t been enriched professionally and personally by engaging with Peggy or indirectly benefited from her guidance. Her reach in our community is widespread. It extends to parents, peers and every school transportation professional in the mix. She is generous with her time, sincere in her interest and tall in her influence. Peggy’s legal wisdom has been invaluable to our community, as has been her outreach to the special education side of the aisle.


AND THEN: Pauline Gervais was transportation operations manager at Adams


12 Five Star Schools when she joined the TSD Conference family in 2000. Pauline’s school attorney, Peggy Burns, said the conference


need someone like Pauline. Peggy was correct. Pauline brought the conference a skill that went right to strengthening its core—the voice of a savvy operations person, articulate to the max. Pauline can break a situation down to its elements and build it up to an accept- able and appropriate solution, while not offending anyone party to the matter. A voice of reason, she has the will to listen and ability to speak in a tone that evokes understanding and earns respect.


OTHERS: Tree longtime members of the Tenured Faculty have retired but


we remember well the important and lasting contributions they have made to special needs transportation and this conference in years past. Tey are: Cheryl Wolf, a transportation supervisor from Indiana; Kathy Strotmeyer, child passenger safety technician and a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics Pennsylvania chap- ter; and Jean Zimmerman, supervisor of physical therapy for West Palm Beach, Florida, Schools.


I hope this will motivate you to join in on local and national stages to help make special needs transportation better and stronger to meet the challenges—whatever they may be—in the years to come. 
